About Holy Cross Orthodox Church
Holy Cross Antiochian Orthodox Church in Linthicum Heights is a welcoming parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, tracing its roots to the apostolic faith of the early Christians. Founded in 1993 as a mission parish by six convert families, the community has grown to over 200 members, drawing people from both Orthodox backgrounds and various Protestant denominations who have embraced the ancient faith. All services are conducted fully in English, making them accessible to newcomers and long-time faithful alike. The parish emphasizes being Christ-centered and pan-Orthodox in character, with Father Joshua serving as the parish priest and actively welcoming inquiries from visitors seeking to learn more about Orthodox belief and practice.
First-Time Visitor Info for Holy Cross Orthodox Church
Dress Code: Not specified — please contact the church directly. Service Format: Most Orthodox worship involves standing throughout the service with seating available on the floor for the sermon; very few chairs or pews are present, emphasizing the congregation as a unified body. Visitor Tips: Greeters welcome visitors at the door and offer worship books; newcomers to Orthodoxy should expect unfamiliar elements such as icons, incense, liturgical prayer, and the absence of pews, but the parish encourages first-time visitors to "come and see" and join the community in worship of Christ.
Note: Church information may be outdated. Please verify details with the church directly before visiting.
