Welcome
Welcome to St. Paul's Greek
Orthodox Church!
Although St. Paul's as a community celebrated its
first services in Irvine in 1978, it is part of the worldwide Orthodox
Christian Church that began on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem as
described in the Acts of the Apostles, and today spans the globe from
Palestine to Japan, Greece to Tanzania, Russia to Argentina, England to
Korea, Romania to Kenya. Initially established by men and women of Greek
descent, St. Paul's today reflects the American experience and is
comprised of more than 450 families representing more than a dozen
different nationalities.
Although we are one of the largest Christian
communions in the world, many people visiting St. Paul's for the first
time ask: what is the Greek Orthodox Church? The best way to answer that
question is to ask a couple of questions. Did you know that every book
of the New Testament was originally written in Greek? That the Apostle
Paul preached in Athens not far from the Parthenon and wrote five
letters to the Churches he established in Corinth, Philippi and
Thessalonika that are today books of the Bible? Who are we? The answer
is actually very simple: we are that Church written about on the pages
of the New Testament some 2,000 years later!read more »
Newcomers and visitors are always welcome at St. Paul's! While
it is our hope that this website will help you learn more about our
parish and the Orthodox Christian faith we confess, we hope – above all
else – that you will personally come visit us. Please feel free to visit
St. Paul's and pray with us on any given Sunday. You will discover an
ancient yet dynamic faith, a welcoming Church family, and perhaps even a
spiritual home where you can plant roots to deepen your relationship
with Christ in the Holy Spirit.
With love in the crucified and risen Lord,
