All Saints of America Orthodox Mission was founded in 1995 under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of New York and Eastern America of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia. We recently celebrated our 10th anniversary as a Parish.  Located in rural southwestern Arkansas, the Mission provides a traditional Orthodox place of worship for people from the surrounding area.

The current parish membership includes young families with children ranging in age from infancy to teenagers and older couples. The majority of the members are converts to the Orthodox Faith from various religious backgrounds. They are joined by Orthodox faithful of Middle-Eastern, Russian and other European heritage.

The Mission strives to provide a welcoming community, in a quiet country setting, where individual members can work out their salvation and serve as a witness to the Orthodox Faith.

Services are in English, following the Old Church calendar (Julian calendar), and encompass a moderately full cycle of services in the Russian tradition. The community is debt-free and has its own church building and separate hall with limited guest facilities, a church library and bookstore.  

Children's classes and instruction for catechumens are provided. In 2003, the mission held its first youth camp for the older children. Hopefully, this will be a continuing tradition. The camp included daily services, classes, and various recreational activities for the young people.
