Step forward to serve as a Parish Council Member

Beloved Parishioners of Holy Apostles,

Our parish is more than a community—it is a spiritual home where we gather to keep, practice, and proclaim the Orthodox Christian Faith. Today, you are invited to deepen your commitment to this sacred mission by offering your talents, leadership, and faith as a candidate for the Parish Council. Serving on the Parish Council is not merely a corporate or administrative role; it is a vital, Christ-centered ministry. Working hand-in-hand with our parish priests, council members serve as ambassadors of faith, setting an exemplary standard of devotion, stewardship, and love for our church family.

Who Can Answer the Call?

To run for election, candidates must meet the foundational requirements of spiritual and communal leadership:

  • A Living Faith: You must be a practicing, communing Orthodox Christian.
  • A Rooted Commitment: You must be a member in good standing of the Holy Apostles Parish for at least one year, current in both your spiritual and stewardship commitments.

How to Be Nominated:

To officially enter your candidacy:

  • By Petition: You may have three Holy Apostles stewards sign and support your candidacy. Nomination forms are available in the office or by email request to [email protected]. Turn them into the church office or to President Jim Maragos. Nominations must be submitted to the church office no later than November 26.  

If you have felt a pull to give back to the church that sustains you, or if you wish to help guide Holy Apostles into a vibrant future, please prayerfully consider this opportunity to serve. Your unique gifts can help keep the “light of Christ” shining brightly in our parish.

Faithfully,

The Board of Elections
