About St. George Greek Orthodox Church
St. George Greek Orthodox Church is an Orthodox mission parish located in downtown Redding, beneath the historic Lorenz Hotel. The parish welcomes all who seek the Orthodox Christian faith—cradle Orthodox, converts, and newcomers alike—emphasizing that while the church honors its Greek heritage and the families who established it in the 1970s, it is not exclusively for those of Greek ethnicity. Services blend Greek and English, with most of the liturgy conducted in English, and the community gathers regularly for prayer, fellowship, and the sacraments led by visiting priests from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese. First-time visitors are encouraged to approach the experience with openness to ancient Christian traditions, understanding that the icons, liturgical practices, and worship style reflect two thousand years of apostolic faith rather than cultural exclusivity. The parish emphasizes that participation in worship is about reverencing God and joining the great cloud of witnesses across the centuries, whether one arrives early or finds a comfortable place to observe and pray.
