Our Vision
OCF strives to foster a strong commitment to Christ and the Eastern Orthodox Church as students encounter the challenges of college life; provide students with a community that supports spiritual and academic development; and provide and effective witness to Christ and the Church on the Penn State campus.
“Being Orthodox is not about what we do in church, that’s maybe 5%. Being an Orthodox Christian is how we live. It’s how we treat one another. It’s our self-denial and our self-giving. It’s our self-transcendence. And, ultimately, what does that lead to, but the complete fulfillment of our personhood in Christ, so that we become who God made us to be in a communion of love with one another.” +Metropolitan JONAH
