Assumption Greek Orthodox Church

About this church

Assumption Greek Orthodox Church is a parish in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood at 1804 13th Avenue. On Sundays, Orthros (Matins) begins at 8:45 a.m. and the Divine Liturgy follows at 10:00 a.m. The liturgy is celebrated in English, with select hymns and responses in Greek, and it is livestreamed. Worship is chanted, and the congregation often stands. The website explains common practices such as lighting candles, venerating icons, and making the sign of the cross for those who are unfamiliar with them.

The parish was founded in 1939 and the present church building dates to 1961. Families and children of all ages are welcome in the service, and a school-year Sunday School, a monthly all-ages Spiritual Cafe during fellowship hour, and family events around feast days are listed. Teens and young adults can join GOYA and the Young Adult League. Adults can take part in a biweekly Lectio Divina gathering, seasonal Psalter groups, and catechism and small groups for those exploring or preparing to become Orthodox. The parish serves meals to people who are homeless through the St. John the Almsgiver ministry and hosts annual festivals, including the Bite of Greece in spring and a Harvest Festival in fall. The church is a seven-minute walk from the Capitol Hill light rail station, has parking reached from the alley, and is ADA accessible. Confirm times on the website.
