Saint John the Baptist Orthodox Church is a parish of the ancient Christian Church, worshiping Christ in Warren, Ohio and serving the Mahoning Valley.
We are a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, Diocese of the Midwest.
Saint John’s is not an ethnic club, a cultural museum, or a place reserved for people with a certain background. The Orthodox Church is for all people because Christ is for all people.
But Christ does not call us merely to admire Him from a distance or remain exactly as we are. He calls sinners to repentance, the wounded to healing, the weary to rest, and every person to transformation in Him.
The life of the Church is not lived in isolation. At Saint John’s, worship flows into fellowship, service, prayer, learning, hospitality, and care for one another.
