Joy of All Who Sorrow Orthodox Church

About this church

Joy of All Who Sorrow Orthodox Church in Marina del Rey, California, is a mission parish of the Orthodox Church in America. The congregation offers weekly Divine Liturgy along with several evening services, and the calendar on its website lists current service times, which visitors should confirm before attending. Each Sunday after the Divine Liturgy, parishioners and guests share a potluck Agape Meal prepared through the parish hospitality committee.

The parish worships at 4161 Lincoln Boulevard, where it also runs the Archangel Michael Orthodox Bookstore. The shop carries books, icons, incense, and wall crosses, and it is open to the public most days of the week. Classes and special events are held throughout the year, and the site says anyone is welcome to attend services and these programs. The community grew out of a bookstand on the Venice boardwalk and a home chapel in the 1990s, then moved through several locations in the Culver City area before settling in Marina del Rey at the end of 2024. The website also links to a bulletin, a calendar, a donation page, and the church's Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube pages.
