The Metropolitan Cathedral of St. John The Theologian

Greek Orthodox worship in Bergen County finds a home at The Metropolitan Cathedral of St. John The Theologian, a place where Byzantine tradition meets the quiet streets of Tenafly. The church sits along Clinton Avenue, a residential stretch lined with mature oaks and colonial-style homes—just east of the downtown’s boutique shops and cafés. Its presence reflects the area’s longstanding cultural diversity, offering services in Greek and English for a congregation that spans generations. From baptisms to memorials, the cathedral follows the liturgical calendar with regular Divine Liturgy, vesper services, and feast-day celebrations, all rooted in the Orthodox Christian tradition.

Directions are simple: the building is a short drive from the George Washington Bridge or a few blocks north of the Tenafly Road commercial corridor. Questions about service times or sacraments can be answered by calling (201) 567-5072. For first-time visitors, the map confirms its unassuming location at 353 E Clinton Ave—no grand signage, just a steady presence amid the neighborhood’s rhythm.
