They believe that in offering to God what they can, in Thanksgiving for the many blessings in creation, that humanity as a whole finds enrichment.

Sts. Constantine and Helen broke ground on its new temple on November 16th, 2020 to add 7,400 square feet to complement the existing parish allowing for a total capacity of 454 during literagy. The new temple, completed in 2022, seats 408 parishioners, a 45% increase in worship seating. Additionally, it provides space for 20 choir members, 11 in and around the alter and space in the cray room for 15 individuals.
On Sunday, May 8, 2022 (Mother's Day) Sts. Constantine and Helen opened the new temple doors to the public to worship.

Although there is adequate lighting, additional custom chandelier lighting will be installed this summer. A new and improved sound system will also be installed in the fall.
