St James Orthodox Church

725 Maze Blvd, Modesto

What to expect on a first visit

St James Orthodox Church describes itself: “Antiochian Orthodox Church of Modesto.” Expect ancient liturgy engaging all the senses — chant, incense, and icons. Much of the congregation stands, and people come and go quietly during the long service; arriving mid-liturgy is normal and unremarkable. Expect hymns with choir or organ. If you'd rather look before you visit, services are streamed online.
