The Montenegrin Orthodox Church is an independent religious organization that represents the Orthodox Christian community in Montenegro. It was established in 1993, following a split from the Serbian Orthodox Church, which had historically been the dominant church in the region. The Montenegrin Orthodox Church seeks to promote the spiritual and cultural identity of the Montenegrin people. The church is led by its own hierarchy and conducts religious services, rituals, and community activities. It aims to foster a sense of national identity and unity among its followers while maintaining traditional Orthodox practices. The Montenegrin Orthodox Church continues to grow and play a significant role in the country's religious landscape.
