St. Athanasius Orthodox Church - Santa Barbara (CA)

Stephen Fountain I have been attending Trinity about 2 1/2 years now and have never felt more at home in a church. It has become my spiritual family and I look forward to church every Sunday , being filled with so much love!

Ellen S Emanuel means "God is with us" and I feel His presence everywhere. The congregation is so warm and inviting and very welcoming. The sermons feed and sustain you with the word of God, given by a wonderful pastor. If you enjoy singing, come and sing your heart out, singing praises to the Lord. Even if you cant sing, like me, it doesnt matter.

Tina L Clay Clay Such nice people .

Rhonda DuPar Churches are like doctors, what is a good fit for one person is not a great for for another--but this is my church home and I love it. Why you ask? I would be glad to tell you. The people are a supportive group organized into homegroups that care for the people of the church. There is an emphasis on practical outreach as well as global missions. The hard issues are talked about and wrestled with both in sermons and in small groups. The sermons and structure are actively centered around scripture. The elder led, multiple teaching pastors approach brings healthy balance. I could probably say more but suffice to say, I would highly recommend checking it out.

Anna Vostrikova Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara is a perfect location for a wedding ceremony and reception! We had a wonderful micro wedding at this location in October. Joanie, USSB event manager, helped us the whole way to organize the wedding of our dreams. I like this location cause they offer a verity of packages for the weddings of different size. The church is absolutely stunning!!! Joanie has an awesome vendor list that will save you tons of time doing research. The location is so convenient and close to all best photogenic locations in Santa Barbara. Make sure you include the organ in your ceremony. It’s sounds stunning!

Brian Bargiel Unity of Santa Barbara is a hidden downtown gem. Our family held a celebration of life here for our father in fall of 2024. The staff was warm, friendly, and accommodated our needs for the physical event as well as audio/video and live streaming. The sanctuary is comfortable (great seating), light, and airy. The patio is large and accommodated our guests well. Attached parking lot is a plus as well as street parking. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a warm, comfortable venue for any spiritually-oriented gathering.

Michael Rippe Visiting for the first time. I enjoyed the Mass which included a good homily. Parishioners were friendly and the presiding priest was very kind. I’ll be sure to visit again. Come back to the Catholic Church!
