Our parishes are the heart of the Province of Southern Appalachia, where the life of the Church is faithfully lived through worship, sacramental life, discipleship, and service. Each parish is a community gathered around Christ, devoted to prayer, the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship of believers. It is within the parish that faith is nurtured, vocations are cultivated, and the Gospel is proclaimed in word and deed.
The Province is committed to strengthening its existing parish communities while prayerfully establishing new ones as God provides opportunity. Every parish shares in the same mission—to be a faithful witness to Christ, serving its local community with hospitality, compassion, and the enduring truth of the Orthodox Catholic faith.
Whether you are searching for a church home, exploring the Christian faith, or discerning the possibility of planting a new mission, we invite you to discover the life of our parishes and the community they offer. Together, they form one Province, united in faith, worship, and the mission of Christ.
