Holy Qurbana - Sunday @ 10:00 am
St.Gregorios Indian Orthodox Church in Atlanta, GA. We belong to the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church under South-West Diocese of North America. The Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church was founded by St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, who came to India in A.D. 52.
On January 4th 2014, a small group of Indian Orthodox faithful living in Suwanee/Cumming area, with a vision for an Orthodox presence in the Northside of Atlanta area, planted a seed. Fortunately this seed fell upon fertile ground and it blossomed. On January 4th 2014, the decision was made to name the Church after the patron saint of Parumala : St Gregorios. On January 17th 2014, a newly formed prayer group was registered in the name of St Gregorios Indian Orthodox Church Atlanta Inc under 501(3)(c), and the Parish became a legal entity through its formal incorporation in Georgia as a non-profit organization.
On 9th Feb 2014, St Gregorios Indian Orthodox Church invited Rev. Fr. John K Vaidyan of blessed memory from Atlanta to celebrate the Holy Liturgy at St Paul Coptic Orthodox Church in Suwanee, Georgia. This service was held in the chapel of St Paul Coptic Orthodox Church. After the Holy Liturgy, the first Managing Committee of the new congregation was formed with Rev. Fr.John K Vaidyan as the President of the new parish along with Mr Thomas K Eapen as Treasurer and Mr Thomas George as Secretary.
On 3rd August 2014, we moved to new worship center at Norcross, 6000 Live Oak Pkwy Ste 113, Norcross GA 30093. With His Holiness Moran Mar Baselios Marthoma Paulose II, The Catholicose of the East’s blessings, on July 5th 2017, the then Metropolitan of South West American diocese declared us as a parish under Diocese of Southwest America with Rev Fr John Koshy Vaidyan of blessed memory as the first Vicar.
