What Can I Expect from St Elizabeth’s?

As mentioned on our “About Us” page, Orthodox Christian worship of God is an experience that engages both the mind and the body with all its senses. Visitors notice many Scriptural texts “come to life” during their visit – our use of music, psalms and other Scripture texts, incense, icons, and sacraments, call to mind the liturgical worship of the early Church. These material expressions of spiritual worship are “copies of the true” worship in heaven (Hebrews 9). Orthodox worship is not “modern” – in the sense of mimicking popular secular styles of music and art – but is at once ancient and relevant, contemplative and engaging.
