There are two Greek Orthodox churches in Jersey City, the other one is Evangelismos Tis Theotokou.

The church stayed in Jersey City but moved to Tonnelle Ave from 1926-1928.

From 1936 until the 1970s the church was located on 240 Montgomery Street in downtown Jersey City.

Greek American Jazz composer Nick Roubanis was associated with the church.

The Greek Orthodox congregation replaced an already existent Protestant Church at 524 Summit Ave in 1971.

President Peter Karavoulias and Father George Oikonomou bought the present church for $65,000.

The Iconostasis or Templon, is a traditional artistic framework venerating Christ, the Virgin, and the church's patron Saint Demetrios.

The church holds a massive collection of orthodox iconography venerating many saints, some are very old.

The church also won many awards as a member of the Greek Orthodox Youth of America GOYA.

One is held every year in September at the Jersey City All About Downtown Street Fair.
