Holy Cross Orthodox Church

About this church

Holy Cross Orthodox Church in Yakima is a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. The temple at 1004 Cornell Avenue holds Orthros at 8:15 a.m. and Divine Liturgy at 9:30 a.m. on Sundays, followed by coffee hour, with Sunday Vespers at 6:00 p.m. Great Vespers is Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Morning services are usually held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and weekday evening services include Vespers, Akathist, or Paraklesis, so the online calendar is the best guide to specific days and times. The parish has been part of the Orthodox Church since 1987.

Christian education for preschool through middle school follows the Sunday Divine Liturgy from September to June. Inquirer and catechism classes, open to non-Orthodox and Orthodox alike, usually meet on Sunday evenings in the fellowship hall. A youth group for high school students meets most Monday evenings, young adults meet most Thursday evenings, and men's and women's groups meet on Wednesday and Tuesday mornings to discuss the teachings of the church fathers. Chanters and choir rehearse Saturday nights before Great Vespers. The parish also supports St. John of Kronstadt Orthodox Christian School, an elementary school, and an iconography project. The office at 1001 S. 8th Avenue is open most weekdays; call 509-575-0145.
