Organization

St. John the Theologian Greek Orthodox Church serves Orthodox Christians in the Clear Lake area. It is located in Webster, Texas about half way between downtown Houston and Galveston. This area is home to the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, and the Clear Lake Recreational Area. Being the only Orthodox Christian parish in this area, St. John serves Orthodox Christians from a variety of nationalities and backgrounds.

St. John the Theologian is a small inclusive parish with a range of programs. Programs include Sunday School for children and teenagers, youth program (GOYA), Greek language school for all ages, ladies' organization (Philoptochos), and men's organization (AHEPA). Annually the parish stages a Greek Festival.

Visitors are welcome at any of our services. You do not have to be Greek to find a home at St. John the Theologian. More than half of the parish is composed of non-Greeks. If you are interested in learning more about the Orthodox Christian Church you will find St. John an ideal place. A large portion of the parish is composed of converts who embraced Orthodoxy after learning about it through the parish.The beginnings of the Greek Orthodox community in Webster, TX began in 1993 with a small but growing Greek community.

We began the Clear Lake Greek Festival as a way to share our culture and heritage with our neighbors. At the Festival our neighbors can sample our food, our culture and visit our church see the awe inspiring Byzantine iconography. This three day festival takes the combined efforts of everyone in the church. The Ladies, young and old, will cook for weeks on end to get the pastries done just right. The men will build the infrastructures for the festival and also cook. Everybody works even the children!

The Greeks at one time had conquered the known world and excelled in philosophy, arts and medicine. They were also one of the first to accept Christ. The bible was written in Greek and the liturgy or service that was developed 2000 years ago is still practiced at St. John the Theologian Greek Orthodox Church every Sunday in Webster. As you can guess we are proud of our church and our heritage and we welcome you!
