Birth of the Baptist Orthodox Church

About this church

Birth of the Baptist Orthodox Church in Pinckney, Michigan, is a parish of the Russian True Orthodox Church that worships at 102 West Main Street, Suite 2. Sunday morning begins at 9:30 a.m. with the third and sixth hours, followed by the Divine Liturgy and a shared meal called the Trapeza. Saturday evening at 6 p.m. brings the ninth hour and Great Vespers, or an All Night Vigil when one is posted. Wednesday at 6 p.m. is the ninth hour and Vespers, and Friday at 6 p.m. is Small Compline or a Praxis class. The site states that services are open to the public.

Visitors are asked to arrive on time and dress for formal worship. Men wear clean long-sleeved shirts and slacks without logos, and women and girls wear a dress or skirt below the knee with a head scarf; scarves are kept at the temple. Men do not wear hats inside. Incense is used in every service, so heavy cologne or perfume is discouraged. The temple has no pews, since prayer is offered standing, though some chairs are available. A catechism class prepares people for baptism, and confession can be arranged by contacting the priest. A monthly schedule is posted on the website and Facebook page, so confirm times before visiting.
