The ultimate commitment of the Orthodox Christian is a commitment to Christ our Lord, Who is known in and through the Church. This is expressed by the litanies of the Church which call upon us to "commit ourselves, one another, and our whole life unto Christ our God." And, prior to receiving Holy Communion, we pray: "O Master Who loves mankind, unto you we commit our whole life and our hope."

Orthodoxy firmly believes that this commitment will always be built upon a worship of God and a loving concern for others. As worship is central to the Church as a whole, worship, personal prayer, and especially participation in the Holy Eucharist are central to the life of the individual Orthodox Christian.

Parish membership responsibility includes active engagement in the Liturgical life of the parish, receiving the Sacraments, getting involved and serving in a Church ministry, and giving to the financial stability of the Church.

Each of us is blessed by the Holy Spirit with different talents and vocations in life; therefore, our personal commitments to Christ will be expressed differently.  If you are interested in joining one of the many exemplary ministries Saint George Church offers, please speak to a member of the clergy to get involved.

Recurring, automatic giving options are easy and offer convenience.  The donation envelopes have been eliminated as members are encouraged to enroll in the Automatic Giving Program.  Members who have registered for the Automatic Giving Program, are not obliged to donate on Sundays during the service, only to worship when present at Church.
