The main Orthodox jurisdictions in the US are the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Orthodox Church of America (OCA), the Moscow Patriarchate, the Antiochian Patriarchate, the Serbian Patriarchate and the Romanian Patriarchate. All of these jurisdictions are in communion with each other. They are not denominations, but simply "sister churches" of the one Eastern Orthodox Church.
