Assumption Greek Orthodox Church

Assumption Greek Orthodox Church began in 1939 with a simple desire: to make the ancient Christian faith accessible to people living in a modern world.

In time, the community built its own church. From those early years came the first baptisms and weddings, the formation of youth groups, women’s ministries, and one of the Metropolis’s first Greek cookbooks. The present church building was completed in 1961 to meet the needs of a growing community.

Over the decades, Assumption has been shaped by generations of faithful—immigrants and native-born, young families and elders, engineers and restaurateurs. Some ministries flourished for a season; others became long-standing pillars, like our children’s camps, parish library, and outreach to the homeless through the Society of St. John the Almsgiver.

Today, Assumption is a parish in motion. Rooted in the beauty of the ancient liturgy, and grounded in our mission to grow together in faith and love through Christ, we are a community of many stories—some born into Orthodoxy, others drawn to it. We continue to grow in welcome, formation, and service. Through feast days, festivals, and quiet liturgies, our story keeps unfolding.
