St. Elizabeth the New Martyr Orthodox Church

About this church

St. Elizabeth the New Martyr Orthodox Church is a small mission in Cullman, Alabama, under the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR). The congregation holds services three days a week: Compline on Wednesday at 7 p.m., a Saturday Vigil beginning at 5 p.m., and Sunday worship that starts with the Hours at 9:40 a.m., followed by Divine Liturgy at 10 a.m. Services are described as prayerful and calm, with chanting, incense, and long-standing liturgical practices. Visitors are told they can sit anywhere, follow along, and ask questions without pressure.

On Sundays, morning confessions are listed at 9 a.m., and a coffee hour with a catechumen class follows the liturgy around noon. The parish also offers inquirer and catechesis classes for those interested in learning more about Orthodoxy, and people who are not Orthodox are invited to attend to observe and learn. Weekday feast-day services, such as early-morning Hours and Liturgy, appear on the online calendar. The church worships at 1029 County Road 813 in Cullman, about seven minutes from the interstate. Because the calendar sometimes lists weekends with no services, and times shift on feast days, check the website calendar or call (205) 565-8630 before visiting.
