St. Thecla Orthodox Church

A Community of Faith in Montgomery County, MD

Welcome

We extend a heartfelt invitation to all—Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike—to visit our parish and experience our warm community.

About the Parish

St. Thecla's is a vibrant community of Orthodox Christians from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and walks of life, with services primarily in English. We are united by our shared commitment to worshiping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ according to the Faith once delivered unto the Saints (Jude 1:3).

Our Leadership

Led by Archpriest John Johnson, St. Thecla's is under the omophorion (spiritual and ecclesiastical authority) of Metropolitan NICHOLAS of Eastern America and New York, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR).
