Assumption Greek Orthodox Church

Located in Ballwin, Missouri, this Orthodox congregation follows the ancient traditions of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. The Orthodox Church emphasizes liturgical worship, apostolic succession, and the veneration of icons as windows to the divine. Visitors to an Orthodox parish typically experience lengthy, ceremonial services featuring chanting, incense, and Byzantine liturgical practices that have remained largely unchanged for centuries. The church interior is usually adorned with religious artwork and iconography. Orthodox Christianity maintains seven sacraments and places significant importance on the Eucharist as central to worship. The congregation gathers for divine liturgy, particularly on Sundays and feast days, and participates in the rich spiritual calendar that includes fasting periods and major celebrations. The Orthodox faith represents one of the three major branches of Christianity, distinct from Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, and claims roots extending directly to the apostolic church.
