OUR FUTURE CHURCH

"Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God." - Romans 15:7

Through this web site, we are pleased to be able to introduce you to that same worship and fellowship as it is expressed in the life of our Parish. If you are a new member of our parish, or are considering membership, these web pages will acquaint you with what our parish offers to those who give it support and sustenance; to those who already belong to the church, we hope they will provide you with the assurance that your sacrificial offerings are received with profound respect, and are utilized to maximum effectiveness. They will, in any case, enable you to make the informed decisions that are necessary for a meaningful relationship with your church.

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America has announced the establishment of the National Hurricane Relief Fund to raise funds for the immediate needs of those affected by the recent Hurricane Helene and who are now in the path of Hurricane Milton.

The National Hurricane Relief Fund will receive all donations from parishes, organizations and individuals and, in collaboration with His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios of Atlanta and the Metropolis of Atlanta, will access and determine the needs of our Greek Orthodox parishes and our faithful of the affected areas in order to distribute the funding. Information on how individuals can apply for emergency assistance of up to $2,500 will be available shortly. Additional assessments of unmet needs will occur as events unfold.

“In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we pray for every community affected: may those who are displaced find shelter; may those who are needy find sustenance; may those who are missing be found safely; may those who are providing aid have perseverance and compassion; may those whose lives have been lost find rest, and may their memories be eternal. As we continue to assess the damage and needs of the region, and look ahead to Hurricane Milton’s landfall, we ask that our faithful across the country keep these communities in their prayers and prepare to share aid and resources as needed, remembering that whatever we do for one of the least of these, we do for Christ,” said His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America.

The Archdiocese requests that all funds raised through the passing of trays and the generosity of our parishes or organizations be directed to:

We are excited to announce that we have completed the preliminary design of our future St. John Chrysostom Church. Detailed architectural and site plans have been prepared under the direction of our Building Committee, comprised of a group of our parishioners under the guidance of a committee from our Metropolis of Atlanta. The plans are under review. Pending formal approval of the submitted plans, the rendering above depicts our future church.

Metropolitan Alexios is requiring that we put a fundraising plan in place to raise the funding required to complete the project. The fundraising committee is working on an overall plan and a campaign will start very soon.

As the official start of our fundraising campaign approaches, we urge all of our parishioners and friends of our community to offer their help. Any level of donation is acceptable and appreciated. We are striving to create a Pan-Orthodox community, which will welcome all Orthodox Christians in our area.

Let all of us partake with enthusiasm so that we may fulfill our dreams of a new church.
