New to St. James?

​

We’re glad you’re here! 

 

Constrained by the love of our Lord, Jesus Christ, we have established a permanent presence in Carroll County, where we are a community of prayer, an example of faith and a people of love for all. We witness to our faith according to the ancient doctrines and rich liturgical traditions of the Holy Orthodox Church, and our services are held in the English language. We welcome all inquirers and seekers warmly in the Name of the Lord! We ask for your prayers, as we pledge to you ours.

 

Whether you're visiting from another parish, exploring Orthodoxy for the first time, or simply stopping by, we warmly welcome you. We want your visit to be as comfortable and meaningful as possible.
