About Us

Orthodox Worldwide, Inc. is a California nonprofit religious corporation organized exclusively for religious, charitable, and educational purposes. The organization has applied for recognition of tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is currently 501(c)(3) status pending.

Our purpose is to proclaim, teach, preserve, and apply the Orthodox Christian faith in fidelity to Holy Scripture, Holy Tradition, and the canonical teachings of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Rooted in the Nicene–Constantinopolitan Creed and the dogmatic decrees of the Seven Ecumenical Councils, we seek to provide faithful Orthodox Christian education and resources to a global audience.

Orthodox Worldwide operates with a commitment to integrity, accountability, and faithful stewardship. All activities are conducted in accordance with Orthodox doctrine and canonical order, and no part of the organization's earnings inures to the benefit of private individuals.

Our vision is to build a comprehensive and faithful online community for Eastern Orthodox Christians and sincere inquirers seeking to learn, retain, and engage deeply with the Orthodox Christian faith.

We aim to create an extensive digital platform offering reliable Orthodox teaching, theological education, and apologetic resources addressing Islam, Judaism, atheism, transhumanism, and other philosophies or worldviews that stand in contrast to Eastern Orthodox Christianity. All such material is approached from within the Orthodox tradition and grounded in Scripture, Holy Tradition, and the writings of the Holy Fathers.

Orthodox Worldwide also seeks to foster meaningful community through interactive features, including moderated community chats, private discussions, and a Q&A forum where users may ask questions and receive timely, well-grounded responses. As the platform grows, we envision hosting original shows, lectures, and educational programming directly on the website.

Beyond the digital sphere, our long-term vision includes supporting in-person meetups, educational gatherings, parish development, and missionary initiatives, helping translate Orthodox teaching into lived Christian community and tangible charitable action.

Orthodox Worldwide is governed by a Board of Directors responsible for the organization's mission, governance, and long-term direction. The Board provides fiduciary, legal, and spiritual oversight to ensure faithful alignment with the teachings and life of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Arman

Co-Founder and Director

Arman is a Co-Founder of Orthodox Worldwide and serves as a Director on its Board. He has studied Christian apologetics for several years. He began his theological journey within Protestantism, but through sustained study and critical engagement with historical Christianity, he entered the Orthodox Church.

Throughout this process, he encountered many of the complex theological and philosophical challenges that often arise when examining competing Christian traditions and non-Orthodox worldviews. Having experienced firsthand how overwhelming and isolating that journey can be, he is committed to helping others navigate these questions with clarity and confidence.

Through his work within Orthodox Worldwide, he seeks to equip others to defend the Orthodox faith and to critically engage belief systems that stand in opposition to it. His goal is to provide grounded, accessible resources for those seeking a deeper and more firmly rooted understanding of the Orthodox faith, so that they do not have to undertake that journey alone.
