Dormition of the Theotokos Orthodox Church

About this church

Dormition of the Theotokos Orthodox Church in Concord, New Hampshire, worships at 4 Union Street, about five minutes from the Statehouse. Matins and the Divine Liturgy are celebrated every Sunday and on major feast days, and Great Vespers is served on Saturday evenings and on the evening before a great feast. The parish follows the traditional Julian (Old) calendar, so feast days and fasts can fall on different dates than on the civil calendar. Services are conducted primarily in English, with Greek and Russian used by request. The parish began holding services in 1981 and is a member of the Eparchial Synod of the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of America.

A community meal is held after the Divine Liturgy each Sunday and on feast days, which gives visitors a chance to meet parishioners. The congregation includes families of English, Greek, Russian, French, Italian, and German descent, along with many converts to the Orthodox faith. Visitors are welcome at services. Anyone who wishes to receive Holy Communion is asked to contact the priest in advance. The website also offers pages on why Orthodoxy, Orthodox education, and a collection of articles for those who want to learn more before a first visit. Exact service times change with the church calendar, so check the schedule page on the website or contact the parish before attending.
