About Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church
Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church in Ames is part of the Orthodox Church in America and serves Central Iowa with worship entirely in English. The parish was established in 2013 by Orthodox Christians, primarily faculty and graduate students at Iowa State University, under the guidance of Reverend Father Marty Watt. The church traces its spiritual roots back to first-century Christianity and welcomes visitors from both traditionally Orthodox Christian lands and North America who are curious about the ancient faith. All services are livestreamed and recorded for those unable to attend in person. The community emphasizes that Orthodox Christianity is evangelical, orthodox, and catholic—pre-denominational and continuous with the apostolic tradition for two thousand years.
