About Us

Welcome

We are delighted to have you visit our website and to host you in the spirit of love and warmth that is characteristic of our parish family. St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church of Jacksonville is a community where the Holy Trinity works and where the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, is worshiped and preached as One True God. We are the continuation of the Church founded by Jesus Christ. We maintain the True Faith and Holy Tradition handed down from generation to generation from the time of the Apostles. Our website is an information center for our parishioners, as well as an introduction to and source of information for the Orthodox Church and her Faith. It is our prayer that the Spirit of God would bless you mightily during your visit here.

What We Believe

The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed*

I believe in one God, Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things, visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father, through whom all things were made;
Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from the heavens and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate and suffered and was buried.
And he arose on the third day according to the Scriptures.
And he ascended into the heavens and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
And he shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of life, who proceedeth from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spake through the Prophets.
And in One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen.
