Welcome!

Come visit with us to witness the worship of the early Church. For over 2000 years the Greek Orthodox Church has celebrated the Divine Liturgy, preached the Gospel, proclaimed the faith, discipled the faithful, fed the hungry, visited those in prison, and sought to fulfill the commands of God. We are a Pan-Orthodox Church made up of Greeks, Russians, Bulgarians, Romanians, Georgians, Albanians, Serbians, and Americans. St. Philothea, our patron saint, was very innovative in helping the community of her day back in the 16th century. Her mission was to serve the young woman of Athens, Greece by training them vocationally so they could survive in the world. She taught them skills that would help them get jobs and survive under harsh conditions. With her as our example we have begun a program called “Bread for Life”. It is a program aimed at getting the chronically unemployed back in the market place through the hospitality industry. By training them to bake rolls, which are then sold to institutions in the community to help pay their wages, students will learn skills that will equip them for careers in the hospitality industry. Not only will they learn job skills they will also learn life skills to help them make good choices, find dignity in work, and develop economic freedom. Our community also has a Greek festival, a Greek Folk Dance Troup, a campus ministry, Sunday school classes, Adult education, and a lovely hall open for rental to the public. So please do come visit us, join us for worship and stay for coffee hour.

Blessings in Christ, whom we serve,

Fr. Anthony Salzman
