Welcome to the website of St. George Orthodox Christian Church! We want to extend a warm invitation to visit us and join us in worship. We are happy to give church tours and look forward to meeting you in person!

The Orthodox Church originated as the community of faith founded by Jesus Christ and the Apostles in the Holy Land and the Middle East. It is the second largest Christian confession in the world today, made up of a family of churches including "Greek Orthodox,” “Russian Orthodox,” “Antiochian Orthodox,” and many others. Orthodoxy is the other half of Christianity, until recent centuries found primarily in the East, and shares a different history than that which gave rise to the Roman Catholic-Protestant traditions in the West. The Orthodox Church is...

ONE - United in faith and practice throughout the world today and throughout 2,000 years of history.

HOLY - Sanctified by her head, Jesus Christ, calling all to share in His transformative grace and healing faith.

CATHOLIC - The fullness of the faith "which was once for all delivered to the saints." 

and APOSTOLIC - In direct and unique continuity with the early Church, possessing apostolic succession and having preserved the apostolic faith unchanged.

IMPORTANT GUIDELINES REGARDING COVID-19

In accordance with the updated directives from Metropolitan Joseph of the Antiochian Archdiocese of North America, the parish of Saint George is implementing the following guidelines for church attendance:

*We are currently allowing up to 25 people at each church service. If you are interested in attending a service, please email us. We currently have a rotation list for those who wish to attend and will be happy to add your name.

*The use of masks is strongly encouraged while inside the church during services.

*If anyone in your household has any symptoms of sickness, we ask that everyone in the household please refrain from attending church services.

*Please use appropriate social distance while standing/sitting in church, while entering and exiting the church, while venerating the icons, and while coming up to receive Holy Communion.

*Hand sanitizer and masks are available in the narthex.

There is a wide variety of opinion  and reaction to the Covid situation. However, if we all apply the apostolic principles found in Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8:7-13 for the sake of our brethren, we will never be wrong in the eyes of God. Indeed, we will receive a blessing for sacrificially loving each other!
