If you would like to attend a Service,

A few questions first:

1) Have you been in contact recently with anyone who has tested positive?

2) Have you been following standard protocols to slow the spread such as wearing a mask in close public quarters?

If your answer is: 'No' to 1), and ‘Yes’ to 2) then please use this link to signup:

Currently we are following standard protocols to wear a mask, and allow a minimum 6' physical distance between individuals/families while attending services.

While there are no restrictions for families with children, we respectfully ask that children stay with their families.

Please note that all first-time visitors are kindly asked to contact Fr. Parthenios prior to signing up.

Although we are receiving Holy Communion in the normative way with a common spoon, as a precautionary measure, we ask that each communicant take a tissue provided and place it over the  communion cloth before receiving, and afterwards place it in the receptacle provided nearby.

Thank you to those who have continued to offer their financial support of the Church!

Fewer people attending Services means fewer donations. Each and every offering is valued and appreciated!

Due to the extra administrative time and expense for the bookeeping firm to record online donations, the preferred and most efficient way to make an offering is either by a personal check, or by asking your bank to set up a (free) regular (weekly/monthly) automatic check to be mailed from your bank.

Please send all checks and correspondence to:

St. John Chrysostom Greek Orthodox Church

P.O. Box 90162

Nashville, TN 37209

Thank you!

If you have not already done so this year, please make a contribution to the Friends Of The Metropolis. To pay online, you may go to:  www.detroit.goarch.org  or mail a check to:

As we enter more deeply into the Christmas Fast, we understand that this will be a holiday season unlike no other, I want to commend to all of you the words of the Lord written above. Our chief and principal responsibility as Christians is to our God and to the image of God that we find in other people. And this duty is love.

This Thanksgiving, we are facing a critical moment in the health of our country, but just as much, a critical moment in the health of our souls. Let us show our love for one another by protecting the living image of God that is each and every human being. #WearΑMask

On this week's episode of "Live with the Louhs," a radio ministry of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, Fr. Nicholas and his wife, Dr. Roxanne Louh, a Clinical Psychologist, speak with Dr. George Dangas, a Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) and Surgery (Vascular). Dr. George speaks with the Louhs on the importance of caring for our hearts and our physical health amidst the stress of 2020.
