The Charizomai Online Resource Center is a ministry designed to help people who have left the Eastern or Oriental Orthodox Church due to abuse. Our mission is to help them find healing that comes only from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Like GCAAM, we want to help you be in a safe space to be vulnerable and heal. It is also our hope and prayer that you will find a healthy church that will continue to point you to the Gospel and to share this good news with others.

What does the word “Charizomai” mean?

According to Strong’s Concordance, Charizomai is a Greek word that means to give freely, to show favor, and to forgive.

That’s the kind of healing that we desire to see from people who utilize these resources.
