Eastern Orthodox churches share an unbroken liturgical tradition dating to the early church, with patriarchates such as Greek, Russian, Antiochian, and Serbian represented in the U.S. The tradition traces its modern form to 1st century. Today there are roughly ~1 million in the U.S. of this tradition.

It belongs to a wider community of churches across the South — long associated with strong Christian communities of every tradition. Clarksville sits within Tennessee, whose state capital is Nashville. New attenders, longtime members, and curious visitors all gather here on Sundays.
