Saint John the Baptist Orthodox Church

About this church

Saint John the Baptist Orthodox Church in Warren celebrates Divine Liturgy Sundays at 9:30 a.m. and Great Vespers Saturdays at 5:00 p.m. Its published seasonal schedule also lists Presanctified Liturgy Wednesday at 6:00. Services are in English and use the sensory language of Orthodox worship—chanting, candles, incense, movement, and a set liturgical form. Everyone may attend, while Holy Communion is reserved for prepared Orthodox Christians. Newcomers can review a “10 Things You Should Know” visitor guide or watch the livestream to become familiar with the service before arriving.

The parish belongs to the Diocese of the Midwest in the Orthodox Church in America and describes its life through worship, fellowship, and service. Its mission includes bringing people closer to Christ through the apostolic Orthodox faith, responding to spiritual and material needs, and building relationships across differences of creed, color, class, and culture. Fellowship is treated as more than coffee after worship: movie nights, cookouts, feast-day parties, dancing, and park outings are named as ways the parish becomes a family. Saint John may fit visitors looking for English-language Orthodox services, an explained Communion practice, Saturday and Sunday liturgy, livestream preparation, and a community that presents ancient tradition alongside active social connection.
