The Metropolis
The fifty parishes, three chapels, and two monasteries under the spiritual guidance of His Eminence Metropolitan Isaiah of Denver are scattered throughout 1.3 million square miles encompassing the states of Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming, as well as the western parts of Louisiana and Missouri.
The parishes of the Metropolis continue to grow, gaining members both from those who seek the Orthodox Christian faith as well as from newly-arrived immigrants from traditionally Orthodox countries. Worship services are conducted primarily in English, but also use the original liturgical Greek. In the spirit of Pentecost, and also given the scarcity of Orthodox parishes of any jurisdiction in the region, it has become common practice in most parishes to read the Lord’s prayer in multiple languages in addition to English and Greek. These often include Arabic, Latin, Slavonic, Ukrainian, Romanian, and Spanish.
The Metropolis of Denver covers the area illustrated in the map below, encompassing the twelve states in blue, and the western portions of two states shown in yellow. Scroll through the parish directory to find the Greek Orthodox parish in the Metropolis of Denver nearest to your home. A directory of parishes from throughout the Archdiocese of America is also available.
