Welcome to Purpose Driven Services (PDS) Academy. This service started in 2017 as a (20) week program that was originally based on the St. Paul School for Servants by Fr. Daoud Lamae to help members of the church in identifying service needs in the community and prepare them to address these needs.

PDS Academy helps young servants in deepening their understanding of the Orthodox Christian faith and preparing them for witnessing for Christ in their home, school, work, community or any where beyond.

PDS Academy offers units in theology, biblical studies, Church history, apologetics and many other beneficial units that are taught from an Orthodox perspective.

Our Academy offers these educational units tailored for servants, young parents and anyone who is interested in witnessing for Christ to prepare them to be “ready to give a defense to everyone who asks them for a reason for the hope that is in them.”
(1 Peter 3:15)

We invite you to become part of our PDS community not just to study but also to become an active servant and join one of the associated community services programs.
