About Us

church site 2

Saints Peter and Paul is located in Bethel, Connecticut. Most of us are converts to Orthodoxy and our doors are open to all who would like to know more about the Orthodox Church. We welcome you to worship with us. Our Sunday service, Divine Liturgy, is held at 10:00 AM.

Following liturgy there is a coffee hour and our bookstore is open.

Parish Background

The Church of SS Peter and Paul converted to Orthodoxy in 1988. On November 16, 1996 the church became a mission of the Orthodox Church in America. All of our services are conducted in English.

Our bookstore, Wisdom Books, has been in business since 1984. It has a large and varied collection of icons and spiritual books. We also carry many enlightening books for young children.

We are aware that iconography is of great interest to the public at this time. We take the goods from the store to the public to expose people to Orthodoxy. We also sell books, icons, and gifts at “The Greek Experience” in Danbury.

We invite you to come visit with us, SS Peter and Paul Mission.
