Bring the story of the Orthodox faith in America into your home with Orthodoxy in America, a 57-page unit study from MBM Press that traces the remarkable journey of the Orthodox Church from the shores of Kodiak Island to the cities of the lower 48, and into your own family's story of faith.
This 10-day, undated study is designed for Orthodox homeschooling families with children of all ages. Move at your own pace, revisit it each year, and use as much or as little as fits your family's rhythm.
What's Inside:
10 Saint Studies: Meet the missionaries, martyrs, and shepherds who built the Orthodox Church in America — St. Herman of Alaska, St. Innocent, St. Jacob Netsvetov, St. Peter the Aleut, St. Raphael of Brooklyn, St. Alexis Toth, and more.
10 Long-Form Read-Aloud Lessons: Storybook-style history lessons written for mixed ages (4–16), weaving together verified Orthodox history, KJV scripture pairings, and discussion questions.
10 Hands-On Activities: Including mapwork tracing the missionaries' 7,300-mile journey, icon coloring pages, a running unit timeline, a Spruce Island diorama, a before-and-after Alaska map, secret code translation activity, and more.
Saint Quotes for Copywork & Decoration: Verified quotes from St. Herman, St. Innocent, St. Jacob, St. Peter, St. Raphael, and St. Tikhon — ready to use as copywork, notebook headers, or decorative pull-quotes.
Patriotic Recipes: A collection of festive red, white, and blue recipes perfect for celebrating American independence alongside this study, with gluten-free and dairy-free swap suggestions throughout.
Recommended Read-Alouds: Carefully curated Orthodox titles only, including Potamitis Paterikon titles, Ancient Faith Publishing books, and a free OCA resource — grouped by day and age level.
Why You'll Love It:
Faith-Centered & Historically Grounded: Every historical fact has been verified against OCA's official archives, the Library of Congress, OrthodoxWiki, and Wikipedia, so you can teach with confidence.
Family-Friendly & Flexible: Undated and designed for all ages — use one day at a time, one activity per day, or dive deep. Revisit it every year as your children grow.
Holistic Learning: Saint stories, scripture, mapwork, crafts, timeline-building, copywork, and hands-on activities work together to make this history come alive, not just a reading assignment.
Rooted in American Orthodox Identity: A study that answers the question every Orthodox child in America deserves to know the answer to: How did our Church get here?
