The first attempt to establish an Antiochian Orthodox Church in Southern California started in the early 1900s by a handful of Arab-American families. At the conclusion of World War I a considerable population increase of Orthodox families of Arabic heritage in the Los Angeles area; initially known as St. George Orthodox Church, opened its doors to the faithful in 1924, however it became increasingly difficult to meet the religious needs of an ever-expanding Orthodox community. In January 1952, construction began under the direction of architect Paul Williams and completed in 1953.
