The Parish Council is the body of practicing Orthodox Christians in good standing sacramentally with the Church, elected by the members of our parish for the purpose of working together with the priest in fulfilling the goals and needs of our parish. This brief description of the local governing body also describes the fundamental structure of the Orthodox Church. That is, that we, as clergy and laity together, are the "People of God", seeking, to the best of our human abilities, to fulfill the mission entrusted to us by our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.

The Obligations of a Parish Council Member are: To know and uphold the sacred tenets of Holy Scripture and the teachings and traditions of the Greek Orthodox faith. To know and abide by the Uniform Parish Regulations as set forth by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America through its biennial Clergy-Laity Congresses. To live and uphold the oath of office by utilizing his/her God-given talents and energies for the spiritual progress and advancement of our parish. Links to Other Parish Council Information
