About Russian Orthodox Church
Assumption of the Holy Virgin Church is a parish of the Orthodox Church in America located in Clifton, New Jersey, serving the Passaic County area since its founding in 1935. The church is part of the Diocese of New York and New Jersey and maintains the Orthodox Christian tradition that traces back to the apostolic church and the teachings of the early Church. The parish describes itself as a community of sinners seeking healing and spiritual growth, welcoming both those raised in the Orthodox faith and those who come to it later in life. The congregation, numbering around one hundred members, emphasizes liturgical worship, particularly the Divine Liturgy or Eucharist celebrated every Sunday, along with prayer, sacraments, and service to the local and worldwide community. Worship engages all the senses through icons, music, and ritual that have remained consistent across centuries, creating a connection to the church's rich historical heritage.
