Myrrhbearers Assumption Long Beach
A meaningful ministry for girls to grow in faith, service, devotion, friendship, and belonging in the life of the Church.
A Beautiful Tradition for the Young Ladies
Myrrhbearers Assumption Long Beach is a special ministry for girls ages 8 and up, inspired by the Holy Myrrh-bearing Women who were the first to witness the Resurrection of Christ. These women showed deep faith, courage, love, and devotion, and they continue to serve as a powerful example for young girls growing in the Orthodox Christian life.
A Ministry of Faith, Service, and Devotion
At Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Long Beach, the Myrrhbearers ministry helps young girls better understand their place in the life of the Church while building confidence, friendships, responsibility, and a deeper connection to their faith.
What Is Myrrhbearers Assumption Long Beach?
Myrrhbearers Assumption Long Beach invites girls to take an active role in the liturgical and community life of the Church. Just as the Myrrh-bearing Women came to serve Christ with love and reverence, girls in this ministry are encouraged to grow in service, dedication, and spiritual awareness in ways that are meaningful and age-appropriate.
This ministry gives young girls a structured and welcoming opportunity to feel involved in parish life, not simply as observers, but as valued participants in the Church community.
The Spiritual Meaning Behind the Myrrhbearers
