There is a dress code to be mindful of: it is appreciated if men wear long pants and women consider a veil or scarf and a skirt. Most importantly, bring an open heart.

In the Orthodox Tradition, Holy Communion is reserved for baptized and chrismated Orthodox Christians who have prepared themselves through prayer and fasting. However, we invite all visitors to receive the "Antidoron" (blessed bread) distributed at the end of the service.

The Sunday Divine Liturgy usually lasts about 120 minutes, often preceded by the Orthros (Matins) service. We encourage visitors to arrive early to experience the peaceful transition from the morning prayers into the Liturgy.

We believe children are an integral part of the worshipping community and encourage them to be present in the nave.

The Orthodox Church of Indonesia (Gereja Orthodox Indonesia) is under the jurisdiction of Genuine Greece of Orthodox Church. Our bishops maintain unbroken apostolic succession, preserving the faith handed down from the Apostles.

The Orthodox Church is the original Christian Church, founded by Christ and His Apostles at Pentecost. We hold to the unchanged faith of the early Church — professing the Nicene Creed, celebrating the seven Sacraments, and following the teachings of the Holy Fathers and the Seven Ecumenical Councils.

No. We venerate icons, but we worship God alone. An icon is a \"window to heaven\" that directs our minds and hearts to the person depicted, much like one might kiss a photograph of a loved one. This teaching was affirmed by the Seventh Ecumenical Council in 787 AD.
