Welcome!

Welcome to the Orthodox Church of St. John the Russian, a parish of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) located in the historic colonial town of Ipswich, MA. Founded in 1976, our parish has grown into a vibrant community of faithful who come from diverse ethnic backgrounds, united in our Orthodox faith. All of our services are conducted in English.

Whether you are an Orthodox Christian seeking a parish home, someone interested in learning about Orthodoxy, or just visiting the area, we warmly welcome you to join us in worship. Following Divine Liturgy, we invite you to join us for fellowship and refreshments in our Fellowship Hall.

If you have any questions about our parish or the Orthodox faith, we would be delighted to speak with you!
