Episcopacy
Saint George Orthodox Christian Church is the oldest of 50 parishes in the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America, part of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America and the Patriarchate of the Church of Antioch.
We are under the spiritual leadership of Metropolitan Saba, Archbishop of New York and North America. The Holy Synod of the Church of Antioch is headed by Patriarch John of Antioch. Our Bishop Basil of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America retired from ministry in the fall of 2022. Our episcopacy is in the line of apostolic succession from the Apostle Peter.
