Welcome to our Church Family!  We are an Orthodox Christian community under the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, and the Holy Metropolis of New Jersey.

We are the 6th oldest Greek Orthodox community in the United States (established in 1901) and are located in Elkins Park, a charming northern suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.


OUR MISSION

At Annunciation, our goal is to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, sanctify the faithful through worship and the Holy Sacraments, grow the church by inviting and welcoming new members, live the Orthodox Christian Faith, and serve humanity through Christ-centered ministries.

OUR VISION

We aim to be a loving, caring and welcoming Christian community where all belong and grow in the Orthodox Christian Faith through worship, witness, fellowship, and service to others.

OUR INVITATION TO YOU

We invite you to explore our website, browse our Parish Calendar of Events, and experience our church family life when you Visit Us for Worship soon!

Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have regarding our church family or Your Journey to Orthodoxy.

Blessings and Peace,
