LEADERSHIP AND STAFF

The greatest among you must be your servant.

Matthew 23:11
Our parish is blessed by dedicated clergy, staff, and lay leaders who work together to create a welcoming spiritual home where everyone can experience the healing love of Christ.

 

True leadership in the Church follows Christ's example of humility. As our Lord washed His disciples' feet, those who serve in leadership at Holy Apostles strive to put the needs of others first, working together to nurture our community's spiritual and practical needs. Each person brings their unique gifts to serve our community in different but complementary ways, guided by love for Christ and His Church.

Our Priest and Presvytera

Our priest guides the spiritual life of our parish family, offering pastoral care, teaching, and the holy services that are the heart of Orthodox Christian life. We are blessed to have Fr. Tom as our priest! He has served our community since 2003, bringing both deep theological understanding and therapeutic wisdom to his ministry. Presvytera Pat is also deeply involved in parish life, supporting the joy and authentic connection of the parish community.
