St. Thomas serves the faithful of southern Maryland (Calvert, Charles, St. Mary's and southern Prince George's counties), and the parish welcomes visitors to all of our services.
This is an Orthodox Christian Church: the ancient, historic, and original Church of the New Testament, which has neither added to or taken away from the faith experience of the apostles who witnessed the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazerath, the Christ of God.
"Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe!" (John 20:29)
In wisdom, let us attend....
ABOUT ST. THOMAS CHURCH....
St. Thomas the Apostle Orthodox Church is a small but growing parish of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese (Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople), under the spiritual protection of His Eminence, Metropolitan Nicholas.

St. Thomas is the only presence of Orthodoxy in Southern Maryland. The parish recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of its canonical establishment. The parish is now experiencing a period of sustained growth in numbers, and finds itself in urgent need of a larger worship space.
In late 1998, the parish purchased a house in the Forest Park section of Waldorf, and converted the enclosed garage into a modest place of worship. Having now outgrown this space, a building committee has been formed and authorized to develop concept plans for a new building at the site.
All of our services are conducted in English.
