Faith is meant to shape every part of our lives: our homes, our work, our friendships, and our hopes. A life lived close to God brings peace and joy that the world cannot give. Wherever you have been and however long you have been away, your family has been waiting for you. Welcome home.
You're not alone.
Who is Jesus Christ?
For two thousand years our forefathers have confessed Jesus Christ as the Son of God who became man, suffered, died, and rose again so that we might have life. Our ancestors prayed to Him in Aramaic, a language close to the one He spoke Himself.

Ours is one of the oldest Christian traditions on earth, rooted in ancient Mesopotamia, carried by the Church of the East and its sister churches across Asia, and kept alive through centuries of hardship by faithful families.

Maybe you drifted away after a move, a busy season, or a painful experience. Whatever the reason, the door is open. Coming home can begin with one prayer, one Sunday, or one conversation with a priest.

Faith · Language · Family
Three treasures our ancestors guarded for us, and that are still ours to receive.
An Ancient Faith
Among the first peoples to embrace the Gospel, Assyrians have worshipped Christ for nearly two millennia with liturgies that remain among the oldest still in use.
A Living Language
Our prayers, hymns, and family conversations carry forward Aramaic, the language family spoken in Jesus' own homeland.
A Global Family
From the homeland to Chicago, Sydney, Toronto, Stockholm, and beyond, our parishes and communities are places to belong.
17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
