Scripture + Holy Tradition co-authoritative.
Caution
Men's Discipleship
Intentional formation for men?
Standard parish fellowship.
Caution
Soteriology
Faith alone? How is salvation presented?
Eastern Orthodox theosis (deification) with synergism — not Protestant sola fide.
WARNING!
Gender / Biblical Design
Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?

Male-only priesthood; Theotokos/icon veneration per Eastern Orthodox tradition.
Caution

Strong

Expository or topical/therapeutic?
Liturgical homily cycle.
Caution
Mission Clarity
Great Commission central?

Caution
Cultural Alignment

OCA = American-English Orthodox jurisdiction.
Caution
Accountability Structure
Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?
Real oversight — OCA Diocese of Washington. R29: site explicitly states 'We are a parish of the Orthodox Church in America' — OCA affiliation confirmed; red soteriology rating holds.
Strong

Assessment
All Saints of America is an English-language OCA parish in Alexandria (named for American-canonized Orthodox saints like St. Herman of Alaska, St. Tikhon). Eastern Orthodox theosis/synergism soteriology is the red-flag divergence from Reformation sola fide; Nicene Trinitarian orthodoxy and apostolic succession preserved.
