Experience the beauty of the Orthodox Church
The Comox Valley's home to the Orthodox community and to those seeking to explore the Ancient Christian Faith for over 25 years.
Experience the Ancient Faith
We warmly invite you to journey with us into the beauty and depth of the Ancient Faith, where timeless truths meet the living presence of Christ.
Our patron, the Apostle Barnabas, was called the son of consolation — an encourager and a reconciler. It is our hope that St. Barnabas will be a church of encouragement and reconciliation in the Comox Valley.
