The church was built by the fourth bishop of the diocese, George Francis Popham Blyth .2 Most missionaries present in Palestine at the time were Evangelical Anglicans, but Blyth was from the Anglo-Catholic party of the Church of England . Finding that his use of St Paul's and Christ Church (both in Jerusalem) were limited, he resolved to found his own mission and build his own church. George's, making them the headquarters of a mission program independent of the two evangelical societies." In order to fund the construction of the church, Blyth founded the Jerusalem and the East Mission . Under Bishop Samuel Gobat , relations with the Orthodox Church had become strained.3 Blyth was eager to restore relations with the Patriarch and as an Anglo-Catholic he had a great respect for the Patriarch's office.

George's contains a pool — a rarity in Anglican churches — which allows baptisms to done through immersion, per Orthodox custom. Herbert Danby became the librarian there in 1919 and was residentiary canon from 1921 to 1936.
