On September 30th, 2011, during the Archdiocese Convention of the Antiochian Orthodox Church of North America, Metropolitan Philip (Primate) announced that the Holy Synod of North American had elected three Archmandrites to the episcopacy. 

The Rt. Rev. Archmandrite Anthony Michaels, our priest and pastor of the last six years, will serve as the Auxillary Bishop of Toledo and the Midwest.

For more information on the new Bishops-Elect.

Fr. Anthony will remain at St. John Chrysostom Church for now and will await further information on his elevation to the episcopacy.

The only information currently available is that the elevations will occur in December at a Patriarchal site in Syria or Lebanon.

Please keep Fr. Anthony, his family, and all of our community in your prayers as we undergo this transition.

On Friday, August 19, very early in the morning, our beloved Fr. George fell asleep in the Lord.

Fr. George and Kh. Charlotte were received into the Orthodox Church with the parish of St. Mary Orthodox Church in Goshen, IN in 1993, ordained to the deaconate in 1998 and to the priesthood in 2000, to serve as a supply priest in the Indiana Deanery. He has served as interim pastor at St. John Chrysostom Church (2000) and at St. Mary Church (2006-7), and was also loaned to the Bulgarian OCA Diocese to serve an interim pastorate at St. Nicholas Church in Fort Wayne (2009-10).

Fr. George is attached to the parish of St. George Orthodox Church in Indianapolis and is an active member at St. John Chrysostom Church in Fort Wayne.

Fr. George and his beloved Kh. Charlotte have endeared themselves to every parish they served through their joyful, compassionate and energetic witness to the risen Christ. We will miss Fr. George greatly.

The sanctuary at St. John Chrysostom Church was consecrated by His Eminence Metropolitan PHILIP on September 19th, 2010.  A celebration was held that weekend to mark the full preparation of the church.  The parish of St. John Chrysostom undertook a "new beginning" in the life our the church on August 5, 2007, when we approved the construction of our new facility with sanctuary seating for 200 people, church school classrooms, office space, and a fellowship hall that serves as a meeting place for our church family.  The first Divine Liturgy in the sanctuary of our church was served on March 14th, 2010 by Bishop Mark along with Father Anthony and Father George. 

Father Anthony and the parish welcome you to inquire about the the parish or the Orthodox faith. We look forward to having you visit St. John Chrysostom Church.
