St. Elias Orthodox Church

About this church

St. Elias Orthodox Church in downtown Austin, Texas, is a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America at 408 E. 11th Street. Sunday begins with Orthros at 8:30 a.m. and the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 a.m. On Saturdays the schedule includes the Ninth Hour at 4:45 p.m. and Great Vespers at 5:00 p.m., and Wednesday Vespers is held at 6:00 p.m., followed by parish education programming. The church invites newcomers to come and see, to go at their own pace, and to ask questions, since an Orthodox service includes many customs that may be unfamiliar. Services can be watched online, and the church calendar lists additional services and changes to the regular schedule.

The parish choir sings each Sunday and draws on Byzantine, Greek, Russian, and American music, with congregational singing encouraged. Church School serves children ages 4 to 17 on most Sundays during the school year, and a Vacation Church School runs each summer. Groups include a Ladies Guild, a men's group, Orthodox Young Adults for people in their twenties through forties, and a teen fellowship. Adult education classes include Bible study, and the parish hosts a well-known Mediterranean Festival each fall. Check the calendar page for current service times before visiting.
