Orthodox Churches in Portland, Oregon

The first Russian Orthodox outpost in Oregon, a Holy Trinity chapel on 20th Street in East Portland, was dedicated in 1895; the city later ordered its demolition. Greek immigrants founded what is now Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral in 1907; its church at 31st and Glisan was consecrated in 1956, and in 2007 it was elevated to Cathedral of the Pacific Northwest.

St. Nicholas took its name in 1927, when a Russian Orthodox congregation bought a church; in 1981 a new parish was established on Dolph Court in Southwest Portland. St. George, an Antiochian parish founded in 1930 for the Arabic-speaking community, began on Southeast 62nd Avenue and built a new church on Northeast 162nd Avenue; it holds services in Arabic and English. The Ukrainian Orthodox parish, founded in 1958, grew from 2022 as refugees from Ukraine arrived. Holy Nativity of the Theotokos Genuine Orthodox Cathedral follows the Julian calendar under the Genuine Orthodox Christian Church of Greece and serves in English.
