St. Basil the Great Antiochian Orthodox Church

About this church

St. Basil the Great Antiochian Orthodox Church in Hampton, Virginia serves the Hampton Roads area as an Orthodox Christian parish. Great Vespers is chanted on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. On Sunday, Matins begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by the Divine Liturgy at 10:30 a.m. and Sunday School at 12:30 p.m. All services are in English, with chanters and a choir that invite the whole congregation to take part. The parish describes itself as multicultural and multi-ethnic, and its visitor page explains what to expect at both Vespers and the Divine Liturgy.

The visit page tells first-timers that no one will be singled out, that no financial contribution is expected from guests, and that women's head coverings are optional. Children worship with their parents, and a cry room at the back of the church lets families watch the service while tending to little ones. Sunday School classes run from September through May. A fellowship hour with a full lunch follows Sunday services, and visitors are encouraged to stay. Parking is available in front of and beside the building. The site also offers information for those interested in becoming a catechumen.
