The Orthodox Church is not a denomination. The Orthodox Church is the original Christian church, founded by Jesus Christ and His apostles. "Denominations" are the Christian groups which trace their histories back to splitting off from the Orthodox faith.
If your question is "Why did Jesus Christ found the Orthodox Church", he founded the Church so that we can continue his works here on Earth after his departure.
Minister Richard Allen founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Pennsylvania. He opened the church, which is the first independent African American church in 1794.
No, the Orthodox church was founded in 33 AD, whereas the Protestant groups came much later, from 1517 onwards.
It became the center of the Eastern Orthodox Church
The Orthodox Christian Church is over 2,000 years old, however, the name for this Church in Greece and some other parts of the world started to become known as "Greek Orthodox" from about 1821. The Greek Orthodox are part of the Orthodox Christian Church (sometimes called the Eastern Orthodox Church) which is the same Church that Jesus founded in 33 AD.
The Orthodox Church considers itself to be the true Church that Christ established in 33 AD. Whereas the Vatican was only founded in 1929.
Many.Ill explain the history of the church briefly. There was one church called "The Catholic Orthodox Church".It consisted of the Roman church ( found by st.peter),the Greek church (founded by st.andrew),The Coptic church (founded by st.mark),The church of Antioch (not sure founded by who) and The church of Jeruslem (not sure founded by who). It split into Catholic and Orthodox.Catholic "west" and Orthodox "east'.However the Coptic church belongs to the Eastern "Oriental' Orthodox church while the Greek church belongs to the Eastern Orthodox church,they are the same but have a different view on the divinty of christ.The Coptic church believes christ has two natures but united while the Greek church beleives christ has two natures but seperate. After that The western church - the Catholic church had many splits these churches are called Protestant churches which consists of anglicans,baptists and so on. The differences are many, too long to list
