Martin Ritsi (Left) &#8211; Dr. Nathan Hoppe (Right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>On Thursday, July 10, on behalf of the Orthodox Christian Mission Center Board of Directors, Board Chair Dr. Gayle Woloschak announced the selection of Dr. Nathan Hoppe as OCMC &#8216;s new Executive Director. Dr. Hoppe will succeed Fr. Martin Ritsi and transition into his role in January 2026, following Fr. Martin\u2019s retirement after more than 26 years of dedicated service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have been exceedingly blessed to have Fr. Martin chart the course of the organization all these years and we couldn\u2019t be more confident in Dr. Hoppe\u2019s ability to build on the legacy that Fr. Martin will leave,\u201d stated Dr. Woloschak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Fr. Martin\u2019s leadership, the Mission Center has significantly expanded its global missionary presence, strengthened pan-Orthodox collaboration, and played a pivotal role in growing the Orthodox Church, supporting more than 3,000 missionaries and volunteers and distributing millions of dollars in grants around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is exciting to see a person who has been raised in the mission field and then dedicated decades of his life to missionary service, now taking on the key leadership role of the Mission Center,\u201d said Fr. Martin. \u201cI look forward to transitioning leadership to Nathan in these months ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dr. Nathan Hoppe the New OCMC Executive Director<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Nathan is a graduate of Wheaton College (BA, MA), Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology (MTS), and St. Vladimir\u2019s Orthodox Theological Seminary (DMin), Dr. Hoppe is a respected author and international church leader.&nbsp; The Mission Center\u2019s longest-serving missionary, Dr. Nathan Hoppe brings more than 25 years of experience to his new role. Working in close collaboration with the late Archbishop Anastasios of Albania and other local hierarchs, Dr. Hoppe has helped establish vibrant Orthodox communities and has led numerous ministries focused on theological education, family and youth development, and parish life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Albania, he taught for many years at the Resurrection of Christ Theological Academy (now Logos University College), where he helped shape a generation of church leaders. He also led the Church\u2019s Children\u2019s Office for over 21 years, initiated a national summer family camp program, helped develop and lead a university ministry, and oversaw the creation of Sunday School curricula for Orthodox parishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout his career, Dr. Hoppe has represented the Orthodox Church of Albania in ecumenical dialogues on five continents and served on multiple international theological commissions with the Catholic, Lutheran, and Anglican churches. With decades of missionary experience and a proven dedication to Orthodox Christian witness, Dr. Hoppe brings the vision, leadership, and global perspective needed to guide the <a href=\"https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/index.php\/2025\/05\/21\/orthodox-faith-karamoja-uganda\/\">Mission Center<\/a> into its next chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am profoundly honored to be called to this new position of service and look forward to working with Fr. Martin and the Board throughout the transition process and beyond,\u201d said Dr. Hoppe. \u201cI am grateful for the strong foundation the Mission Center has established and am excited to see how God will lead us in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While transitions bring change, the Mission Center\u2019s commitment to its mission\u2013to bring all people to Christ, share His love, and establish His Church\u2013 is unwavering. Grounded in its history and inspired by the opportunities ahead, the Mission Center moves forward with renewed purpose, ready to continue sharing the transformative power of faith with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ocmc.org\/\">Orthodox Christian Mission Center<\/a> is the official pan-Orthodox missions agency of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America.
