Welcome to Our Church Family!
We are an Orthodox Christian community under the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, and the Holy Metropolis of New Jersey. We are the 6th oldest Greek Orthodox community in the United States (established in 1901), located in Elkins Park, a charming northern suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
OUR MISSION is to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, sanctify the faithful through the liturgy and the Holy Sacraments, grow the church by receiving new members, live the Orthodox Christian Faith, and serve humanity through Christ-centered ministries.
OUR VISION is to be a loving, caring, and welcoming Christian community where everyone belongs and grows in the Orthodox Christian Faith through worship, witness, fellowship, and service to others.
WE INVITE YOU to explore our website, browse our Weekly Bulletin and Community Calendar, and experience our church family life when you Visit Us for worship soon! On Sundays and holy days, Matins starts at 8:30, and Divine Liturgy is from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Our services are in English and Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament. Then, join us for coffee and fellowship.
