When/where do we have meetings?

We have meetings every Thursday at 7:30pm in WALC 3148.

We have 4 categories of meetings that we rotate through:

  • Spiritual
  • Social
  • Service
  • Guys & Girls Groups

  • Church rides for Saturday vespers and Sunday liturgy
    • Occasional church hopping to visit other Orthodox churches nearby
  • Bible study
  • Book club
  • Intramural sports
  • Morning prayers
What church do we go to and how do we get there?

We go to St. Alexis Orthodox Church located at 2115 State Road 225 E Battle Ground, IN 47920 (about 20 min drive from Purdue campus). Vespers starts at 5:30pm on Saturdays and liturgy starts at 9:30am on Sundays. More information about the church, including a church calendar, can be found here.

We organize rides to church for vespers, liturgy, and special services (such as during Holy Week). You can sign up for rides on the Excel sign up sheet where we will have listed our drivers and how many people they can drive for each service. The link to this Excel is available in the GroupMe.

Where is the pickup spot for church rides?

Our pickup spot for church rides is in the parking lot on the North side of the Recreational Sports Center (Co-Rec) across from Wiley Residence Hall. Sunday morning rides leave at 9:00am. Saturday night rides leave at 5:00pm.

I’m interested in Orthodoxy, but not Orthodox, can I still join OCF?

Yes! Most of our members are already Orthodox Christians but we have many members who have converted during college! We welcome anyone who is interested in learning more about our faith and looking for guidance through their spiritual journey.

Who is our spiritual advisor?

Fr. Gregory of St. Alexis Orthodox Church is our spiritual advisor. Aside from being the priest at St. Alexis, Fr. Gregory leads spiritual discussions at select OCF meetings and meets with students interested in joining Orthodoxy.
