St. John's Greek Orthodox Church (Omaha, Nebraska)

St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church is located at 602 Park Avenue in Midtown Omaha, Nebraska.

The original congregation was formed in 1907 to meet the needs of Omaha's then-burgeoning Greek community.

The current building is a city landmark that was originally constructed in 1908 for Omaha's Temple Israel, and was sold to the St. John's parish in 1951.

The Right Reverend Bishop Ezekiel of the Chicago Diocese officiated the consecration of the new home of Saint John the Baptist parish on May 4, 1958.
