Home | Holy Cross Holy Apostles Greek Orthodox Church

Hello and Welcome!

Thank you for visiting Holy Cross Holy Apostles Greek Orthodox Church's Web Site. Our mission is to be faithful to Our Lord Jesus Christ, who commanded, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:19. Our parish is a young one, founded in 2006 to minister to the Orthodox community of Greenville and surrounding areas.

The Eucharist, the partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ, is the focus of Orthodox practice and worship. Holy Communion is offered at every Divine Liturgy. In addition to the holy services, Holy Apostles offers many other opportunities to worship and honor God. These include special services as well as participation in Christian Education programs that we offer throughout the year.

Are you new to the community? We invite you and your family to attend and hope that you will find a home here. We look forward to your presence as we gather to pray and worship as a community of faith. It is our hope that you will hear your own call to witness and serve Christ with us. Our ministries and organizations have places for many different talents and gifts - yours are needed. Whatever great or small the time you can devote to our parish, you do in His name, and we are grateful for your participation.

Message From the Parish Council

Dear Parishioners,

I am pleased to report to you that the chancellor Fr. George Tsahakis, our Vicar, Fr. Vasileios Tsourlis and His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios have identified a priest to continue services uninterrupted at Holy Cross / Holy Apostles this Sunday.

Fr. Angelo Pappas of Myrtle Beach South Carolina has agreed to serve our parish until a permanent priest is secured.

Fr. Angelo is retired from St. John’s Greek Orthodox Church in Myrtle Beach where he served from 2010 to 2016.

He has answered our prayers and His Eminence’s call to continue the momentum we have achieved under Fr. Paul’s guidance over the past 18 months.

Please join us in celebrating the Divine Liturgy with Fr. Angelo on Sundays – Orthros at 9 am and Divine Liturgy at 10 AM.
