An initiative of Project Mexico, in collaboration with Hellenic College Holy Cross, The FOrCE introduces the faithful to opportunities in Christian higher education.

In collaboration with our partners at Hellenic College Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, an Orthodox Christian liberal arts college and seminary, the FOrCE educational series consists of six (6) 45-min ZOOM lectures purposefully designed to introduce the wealth of post-service opportunities in Orthodox education. This series will help the faithful tangibly fulfill their Orthodox Faith, fortify their conviction, add to the welfare of the community, and directly benefit the churches in America by Forming Orthodox Christian Evangelists.
