The OCA’s Office of Pastoral Life seeks to equip the clergy of the Orthodox Church in America by providing them with the necessary resources and tools to maintain and enhance their ministries. In encouraging personal growth and fostering supportive relationships between those engaged in ministry, the office works to ensure that the leaders of our parish communities are continuously growing and maturing personally so that they may continue to lead the faithful with wisdom and zeal.

The Office of Pastoral Life is made possible in large part due to the generous support of the Stewards of the Orthodox Church in AmericaSee what you can make possible by becoming a Steward today!
