History

The church was part of an early business enterprise to attract British citizens to the El Toro area.  Eventually, they all left; the church remains.

At various times we have provided worship space for Jewish, Greek Orthodox, and Baptist faith communities.

Drought and torrential rains contributed to the church's early rough and tumble existence while serving fruit workers and wealthy families in the surrounding agrarian community.  Circuit-riding priests initially served St. George's as communities such as Anaheim, Tustin, Santa Ana and Orange grew.

In 1964 with the opening of Leisure World and the development of Mission Viejo, the mission church of St. George's began to experience a new influx of families.

In 1966, the Rev. Frederick C. Hammond became vicar-in-charge and was later called as the church's first rector.  A new church building was erected at its present location, at 23802 Avenida de la Carlota  and was dedicated in 1969.  The abobe tiles that can be seen in the memorial fountain were created by members and lined the periphery of the original Carlota building.
