OUR FUTURE NEW 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.

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.

Per the Atlanta Metropolis requirements, we put a fundraising plan in place to raise the funding required to complete the project. The fundraising committee has prepared an overall plan and our campaign was initiated on January 20, 2025.

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.
