Etiquette

When coming to an Orthodox Church, we are entering into a holy space, the Kingdom of God. Throughout salvation history, God has revealed how we should worship Him and how we should behave in His presence. This behavior is meant to move beyond the walls of the Church, it is meant to infiltrate our very being and the life that we live. Proper behavior in God’s presence is meant to make us holy too. Here are a few basic guidelines:

  • Dress modestly and cleanly
  • Turn off mobile phones before coming in
  • No food or drink in the church
  • Arrive 10-15 minutes early if possible
