Confirm service times before visiting
Parish websites and schedules can change, so it is wise to call, email, or check the parish website before attending your first Divine Liturgy.
Search by your ZIP code or city in the Assembly directory to see the closest Orthodox parishes near you.
Open the parish website and look for Divine Liturgy times, visitor guidance, and contact information.
If you are unsure where to begin, choose the closest canonical parish and introduce yourself to the priest before or after a service.

Not sure which parish to visit?
If you are new to Orthodoxy, it is usually best to begin with the parish that is both canonical and realistically accessible for regular worship. Stability matters more than finding a perfect fit on the first visit.
