Fr. John baking church bread

Reverend (Father) John Cox has been assigned as the Priest at Dormition since June, 2011. He is a graduate of St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary and a past Vice-President of the Orthodox Christian Association of Medicine, Psychology, and Religion (OCAMPR). In addition to his parish responsibilities, he is currently a chaplain for the Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) at Old Dominion University. Fr. John is a convert to Orthodoxy from evangelical Protestantism. You can read about his journey to Orthodoxy here. In his spare time… wait, Fr. John is a married father of four. There is no spare time. But in addition to serving the services of the Church he enjoys playing outdoors with his children, dinner with his wife, and good coffee. If you have a question for Fr. John please send him an email: Priest@dormitionnorfolk.com
