Located in Thornton, Colorado, St James Orthodox Christian is an Orthodox Christian congregation. The Orthodox Church is one of the three major Christian traditions, emphasizing apostolic succession, ancient liturgical practices, and theological continuity with early Christianity. Visitors to an Orthodox church typically encounter a liturgy-centered worship experience featuring structured prayers, liturgical vestments, and ornate iconography.
