Welcome to Orthodox Church of the Annunciation

A Word from...

Welcome to the Orthodox Church of the Annunciation located in beautiful Santa Maria, CA.

Come and see the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3). Orthodoxy is, in the words of St Athanasius the Great, “what Christ taught, the Apostles preached, and the Fathers kept.”

The Orthodox Church is eternally ancient and eternally new, living and breathing in the Divine Liturgy, sustained through sacred tradition, and borne witness by countless saints across the ages. In the Orthodox Church, Christ is alive in every prayer, radiant in every icon, and echoed in the ancient hymns.

Discover the beauty, mystery, and spiritual depth of Orthodox Christianity.

Please see our Weekly Bulletin and Monthly Calender for the service schedule and contact Fr Justin Taylor (frjustin@odox.org) with any questions. We will be honored to welcome you for a visit.”

Consecration of our Temple

Go therefore, and teach all nations!

The Orthodox Church came to North America in 1794 through Alaska, via Russian missionaries. The Faith they preached is, according to the Orthodox Church, the same Faith preached by Christ’s Apostles- who were commissioned to “go ye therefore, and teach all nations” (Matt. 28:16) the commandments which Christ taught them to hold.
