Celebrating 100 Years
We, the faithful of St George Orthodox Church, are blessed to be in the midst of our Centennial year. In this 100th year of our parish we will be celebrating our history and looking forward to our future. We invite you to be part of this celebration that will culminate with our Mortgage Burning (Oct. 3, 2026), Centennial Gala (Oct. 10, 2026) and Consecration of the church (Oct. 11, 2026). We will post information regarding all events and related Centennial information on this page.

Timecapsule
At the 75th Anniversary of the parish in 2001, the parishioner placed a time capsule in the cornerstone of our church at 4020 N. Sherman Drive, Indianapolis with various mementos, messages and historical items. On Saturday, October 11, 2025, as the kick-off to our Centennial year, we opened the time capsule and shared the contents with the parish. Below are some of those items and photos from the event.

Icon Book
Step
Into the Light
Centered on the iconography of St. George Orthodox Church, Step Into the Light is a unique book that invites the reader to move through images as a pilgrim would move through a sacred space.
The book is divided into three major sections. The first section sets the stage for the journey, tracing the architectural vision of the church and the development of its iconographic program. The central section leads the reader through the icons themselves, following the path one takes through the church: from the narthex to the dome, from the prophets to the saints, from the creation to the resurrection and the altar. Each image meets the eye as a moment of encounter, but together they weave a single, living story of God’s presence with His people, unfolding here and now. The final section offers reflections that bring the experience to life testifying how the light revealed in iconography continues to shine within worship and community life.
This book is scheduled to be published and available for purchase in September 2026
