The Saint Olga of Alaska Orthodox Church Mission is an outreach to the Hillsdale community from Holy Ascension Orthodox Church in Albion Michigan, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA).

We do not yet have our own permanent space, so we are renting St Peter’s Episcopal church for services, which is at 3 N Broad St in Hillsdale.

Except for special occasions, we usually meet on Thursday evenings at 6pm for Vespers and then fellowship afterward. But you should check the service calendar for real-time information.

We do not yet have a priest assigned or a space to have Sunday services. On those days Orthodox Christians in Hillsdale usually attend Holy Ascension in Albion.
