We're delighted that you'll be visiting!

Attending our Sunday morning service is the perfect way to experience Orthodoxy firsthand! Here is some information you might find helpful!

  • Service Time: On Sunday mornings we serve Orthros (the morning service) at 9 AM, followed immediately by the Liturgy at 10 AM.  The Liturgy normally ends between 11:15 and 11:30 AM. 
  • Language: Orthros is usually served in Greek, and the Liturgy is conducted bi-lingually in Greek and English.  Booklets with a parallel Greek-English text of the Liturgy can be found in the pews for those who wish to follow along.
  • Dress Code: No strict dress code, business casual is common. It is customary for men to wear long pants, and women to wear modest skirts or dresses.
  • Arrival: Upon entering you may purchase and light a candle in the vestibule if you wish, and then enter the temple and find a comfortable spot to sit or stand.
  • During the Service:
    Lighting candles and venerating images is optional
    Participate only in what you are comfortable with
  • Holy Communion:
    Holy Communion (the Eucharist) is reserved for active Orthodox Christians in good standing with the community.
  • After the Service:
    Join us for fellowship, lunch, and coffee
    A great time to connect and share stories

We look forward to welcoming you!
