Our Church – Our Refuge
Unique moments from our journey so far.
The foundation of our parish was laid on September 7th, 2008, when the first Divine Liturgy was celebrated at Bramcote Community Hall. What began as a humble gathering of Romanian Orthodox faithful soon grew into a vibrant spiritual family, united by faith, prayer, and the desire to carry Christ’s light into the heart of Nottingham.
In 2016, with the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Iosif and at the suggestion of Father Dan Ghindea, the project entitled: Our Church – Our Shield! was initiated.
Through this project, the aim was to visibly and consistently raise the necessary funds for the purchase of our own place of worship. This initiative was received with great joy and love by the entire community. With much patience, dedication, and prayer, by the mercy of God, this goal was fulfilled in 2019, when on the 15th of November 2019, we officially became the owners of our church building. This achievement was also made possible with the support of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nottingham, which gifted us this church below the market value at that time.
Through the mercy of the Lord and the unwavering unity of our faithful, on November 15th, 2019, we were blessed to acquire our very own church, a sanctuary where heaven touches earth, made possible through the love and offerings of our community, supported in part by a bank loan undertaken with trust in God’s providence.
Our History
Father Dan Petru Ghindea was ordained to the priesthood in March 2008, on the Sunday of the Holy Cross, by His Eminence Metropolitan Joseph, Archbishop of Western Europe and Metropolitan of Southern and Western Europe.
With his blessing and pastoral guidance, Father Dan established and served Romanian Orthodox communities across the UK (2009 – Liverpool, 2016 – Manchester), before settling his pastoral and liturgical ministry in Nottingham.
By the mercy of God, this parish is the fruit of faith, sacrifice, and tireless labour, carried out hand in hand with a vibrant and devoted community.

Our Community
The love in our souls drives us to see the needs around us, and our desire to reduce suffering makes us ambitious in our efforts. United by our belief in God, we strive to make a positive impact together. Everything we have achieved is thanks to Father Dan Ghindea, a priest who started everything from scratch. His vision and dedication have built our community, and he continues to guide and unite us.
Our History
Father Dan Ghindea was consecrated by Bishop Iosif of Paris in 2008 and has served in many cities across England over the years. Now, the time has come to establish his home here, a home where everyone is welcome, and each believer is supported. At his consecration, he was told, "Go and do what you can!" He did everything out of nothing, with only the help of the Lord.
God help us all!
