      General Info
      Our Church is called the "Greek Church" because Greek was the first language of the ancient Christian Church from which our Faith was transmitted. The New Testament was written in Greek and the early writings of Christ's followers were in the Greek language. The word "Greek" is not used to describe just the Orthodox Christian peoples of Greece and other Greek speaking people. Rather, it is used to describe the Christians who originated from the Greek speaking early Christian Church and which used Greek thought to find appropriate expressions of the Orthodox Faith. "Orthodox" is also used to describe our Church. The word "Orthodox" is derived from two short Greek words, orthos, meaning correct, and doxa, meaning belief or glory. Thus, we used the word "Orthodox'' to indicate our conviction that we believe and worship God correctly. We emphasize Apostolic tradition, continuity and conservatism over a 2, 000 year history. Orthodox Church today is a communion of self governing Churches, each administratively independent of the other, but united by a common faith and spirituality. Their underlying unity is based on identity of doctrines, sacramental life and worship, which distinguishes Orthodox Christianity. All recognize the spiritual preeminence of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople who is acknowledged as primus inter pares, first among equals. All share full communion with one another. In addition to the four ancient Patriarchates of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem with their several geographic and ecclesiastical subdivisions, there are also many independent or autocephalous Orthodox Christian Churches. These include the Churches of Russia, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, Georgia, Cyprus, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Finland, Albania and Sinai. Smaller autonomous Orthodox Churches and missions can be found on every continent throughout the world. About St. George St. George Greek Orthodox Church began as a dream in 1940. On December 9, 1948, 53 members were present at a General Assembly and elected the first Parish Council, thus officially inaugurating the beginning of the St. George community. Finally, on March 25, 1951, the mortgage was fully paid, just four years since the beginning of construction. Monies for the Huntington parish were contributed by the faithful of Ashland, Kentucky ; Ironton & Portsmouth, Ohio ; Charleston, Whitesville, Beckley, Logan, Williamson, Dorothy and Parkersburg, West Virginia. The cost of the facilities totaled more than $100, 000.00. Some mortgaged their homes to help fulfill their dreams of an Orthodox church in their community.
