Fellowship of Orthodox Christians (FOC-LETU) at LeTourneau University connects students to the ancient faith and life of the Orthodox Church under the spiritual direction of Father Ignatius Strange.
The club emphasizes meeting for prayer (reader-led prayer services and occasionally a priest-led service), joining together to share rides to church, and other ways that the spiritual life of its members can be strengthened. We also aspire to spread awareness for the ancient faith and the beauty of the apostolic Church.

“Has a poor man entered into thy house? God has entered into thy house; God dwells in thy abode. He, whom thou hast refreshed from his troubles, from troubles will deliver thee.

Behold God eating [at it], and Christ likewise drinking [at it], and the Holy Spirit resting [on it]: Is the poor satisfied at thy table and refreshed? Thou hast satisfied Christ thy Lord. He is ready to be thy rewarder; in presence of angels and men He will confess thou hast fed His hunger; He will give thanks unto thee that thou didst give Him drink, and quench His thirst.”
