Welcome to Saint Barbara
Greek Orthodox Church
Welcome to the Saint Barbara Website, a ministry of the Saint Barbara Greek Orthodox Church in Santa Barbara, California. On behalf of the faithful of our parish, we are grateful that you are visiting our website. Our parish consists of faithful men, women and children seeking to live a life dedicated to Christ and His Church. This Church is the body of believing Orthodox Christians throughout the world, who share a common spiritual bond! By worshipping, witnessing, serving and socializing together, we seek to make Christ’s presence felt in our community, and to make God’s Kingdom real in our parish.
Saint Barbara’s is a vibrant community that includes many ethnicities, but one faith – the Orthodox Christian Faith. More and more people throughout America, and the world, are becoming aware of the unchanging truths of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Once called Christianity’s “Best-Kept Secret,” the word is out, and people are coming to know and embrace the stability and continuity preserved in the Church since the New Testament era through today. We invite you to explore our site and learn more about our parish and our Faith. We also invite you to our services, to join our parish family for worship and fellowship. May the peace of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ be with you.
