Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church

Wedding of a wonderful young couple. A bit more modern than I expected. How glorious, when the sun broke through for a fleeting moment. Just beautiful.

Christos Anesti! My wife and I experienced a beautiful Orthros and Divine Liturgy at this magnificent Church. Fr Aris truly cares about the local and international Orthodox community, he strives to be an example of love and faith. The whole Church community at Holy Trinity was especially kind and welcoming. There were different types of people there, the ones I interacted with had wonderful testimonies of how they became Orthodox Christians or how they put their faith into action for those born into the Church. I also met a nun from an OCA Monastery in Calistoga. This Church definitely supports the Orthodox Monasteries including the Holy Monastery of the Theotokos - the Life Giving Spring in Dunlap, CA. The mosiacs are inspiring and, of course, the dome of the Christ the Pantocrator (All-powerful) is pleasantly overwhelming. I really enjoyed the reverence of Fr Aris, Fr Deacon Basil, and Nicholas, one of the three chanters who chanted exceptionally. To be here, or in any Orthodox Church, is an experience that leaves me to say: I didn’t know whether I was in heaven or on earth.

This has been my church to since I was a child. I watched it being built and have many wonderful memories. I'm now "a specialist" only attending for special occasions and services. I still marvel at the mosaics, especially the dome. When I am there, it feels like home.

The holy spirit is in this church

This is a magnificent Greek Orthodox church that has gorgeous mosaics over its interior walls and dome. Father Aris is a wonderful priest and the parishioners are very warm and welcoming to people of all backgrounds.

Here you can find the family you are longing for...

We just piked in to take a look, but this church looked really cool. It is near Lake Merritt and CSUSF. See the photo I published under photos.

I had an accident, an my tire blowout and the only closest was the parking lot, i parked and just waiting for AAA, and two officer came and told us, the The Church call the police, because we look suspicious and they are children, what!!,They assume because our car is a 20 year old car., couple minutes later, this man came in our door, trying to tell us to leave, he was a Church member, finally the tow truck came, horrible experience, you supposed to be Godly harassing people, shame on you, are EVIL

5 Stars - A Truly Meaningful Experience with Father Aris Father Aris was an absolutely phenomenal person to work with leading up to our wedding. Coming from a Christian Orthodox background, it was incredibly important to me that our ceremony felt both spiritually meaningful and true to tradition--and Father Aris delivered that and so much more. He is deeply passionate about his role and brings such warmth, wisdom, and sincerity to every interaction. From our first meeting, he was thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple. He guided us through the process with clarity and care, making sure we understood each part of the ceremony and its significance. What stood out most was his ability to balance tradition with personalization. He respected our wishes and vision while offering gentle, insightful suggestions that elevated the experience. On the day of the wedding, his presence brought a beautiful sense of calm and reverence, and many of our guests commented on how moving and memorable the ceremony was. We feel incredibly grateful to have had Father Aris marry us, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a meaningful, respectful, and spiritually rich wedding experience.

Went to vespers on Saturday. Very welcoming and beautiful church. When im in town it's so nice to visit one of the GO churches of my childhood. You won't be disappointed ,it's very atmospheric. Echoing stone ,religious icon art everywhere stained glass .Also lots of parking.

They take tips, but they don't give tips. Just another system rider. It's funny how they preach empathy.. And yet they are the biggest exploiters. I guess those who actually practice don't need to preach it.

This is the church, where Nick and I were married. We love our church and after almost 8 years of marriage, have made Holy Trinity our Spiritual Home as we continue to worship and serve. If you are looking for a spiritual home, come visit Holy Trinity Orthodox Church. Our services are held in Greek and English. Father Aris Metrakos and his wife Presvytera Valerie are wonderful, warm, caring, and dedicated to serving our community. Along with their two son's Nick and Stefan. We have many groups and functions in our church for all ages. The dome of our church has the largest mosaic of Jesus in the Western Hemisphere. A beautiful choir to sing and inspire! Coffee Hour and Fellowship following services on Sunday, come join us!

Father Michael is a very compassionate, caring priest. This is a great church.

Magnificent, giant church! Beautiful! Mosaics everywhere! Really nice catering/church hall. Fr. Aris is amazing

This review is solely on the structure. Went there last night for a choral concert. This church is quite large and is nearly all covered inside with mosaic work. Quite nice.

100yrs old!!WOW AMAZING walking in no matter what part of the world ur from or denomination u TRUELY feel the presence of the Holy Trinity! If u don't want to attend a service then check it out on the website live stream! Glory to God!! And their community center not only has a gym & workout rm but a slew of activities for both adults & youths! Come& see for yourself! Can't wait till the fall schedule comes out with all the neat classes.

Every other thursday at 7:30pm a bunch of us between 20-40yrs get together, eat and talk. We talk about everything under the sun, funny, serious and inbetween. We look at the issue through an orthodox lens, which can challenge and guide our thinking. Its a great time with great people.

The most beautiful church you could walk into. I am not a member of this church but attended a wedding here .A must see. Gorgeous stained glass windows and mosaics. It could get a bit cold in the area but well worth the visit. Easy to get to and large parking lot area. A large Greek community but all from the Greek Orthodox faith are welcome. Offers Greek dancing and a youth basketball league. A magical experience when you walk through the church doors for the first time.
