St Maximus Orthodox Church

Very welcoming perish and family. Had a great time at the young adults conference.

Excellent parish with an excellent priest. Warm and welcoming laity…mainly converts. Church leans toward the monastic so ladies, wear skirts below the knee. Head coverings welcome but not required. Call or email priest before communing so he can verify your home parish, etc.

For the worship and pray!!! Paint of the saint??? Yes!!! Singing is the more of the beautiful! Very small and more of the cozy! Pray is good!

Beautiful group of genuinely kind people. I'm not Orthodox, but have attended with a friend a few times and the community is always welcoming. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice, prayerful church. Lots of congregational singing of scripture, and the people are nice. The priest seems good. Lots of weekday services and right by UNT.

If you aren’t Eastern Orthodox, you won’t be allowed to receive communion, because they have very particular beliefs about the state you should be in to take communion properly. You may do pretty much everything else with them, though.

There are no pews. Everyone stands through their services, except the old and sick, but if you need to sit down at some point there will probably be seats open along the sides of the room - but don’t take one before all the sick and old arrive!

If you aren’t familiar with Eastern Orthodox services, ask someone to point you to their liturgy booklets so you’ll know when to sing (there’s a lot of call-and-response type stuff between the congregation, the priest, and the choir) and what to sing (no slides with lyrics or scriptures. No hymnals. The booklets have everything. Use one unless you have everything memorized.)
