Welcome to the Protection of the Holy Virgin Mary Orthodox Church in Clarksville, Tennessee. We are a parish community in the Orthodox Church in America, Diocese of the South, observing and practicing all the fullness of God’s grace given to His Church. As a parish in the Orthodox Church in America, we trace our spiritual heritage to the Russian Orthodox Church which was first brought to these shores by the Monks of Valaam Monastery, who arrived in Alaska in September, 1794 and, ultimately, to founding of the Church after the resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
We welcome visitors. Services are almost entirely in English. The dates and times of our services may be found at Service Schedule. After Sunday services, we welcome you to visit and share a meal with us.
We currently worship in the A-frame chapel of Grace Lutheran Church on Madison. For directions, please click here.
