Our Parish Ministries
We welcome you to learn about and consider joining some of our parish ministries. There are many great ways to get involved. Contact the church office for further details.
Parish Council
The Parish Council is composed of faithful men and women who are dedicated Orthodox Christians and who sacrifice their time, talents, and resources for the Church. We represent the parish, as clergy and laity together, and seek to fulfill the mission ascribed to us by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Parish Council oversees all operations of the church and the parish community under the guidance of the priest.
2025 Parish Council: Dr. George Lountos (President), Elizabeth A. Kostas-Polston (Vice President), Bruce Flanders (Treasurer), Annitsa Spanos (Secretary), Nicholas Carras, Thomas Tsianakas, Petros Calomeris, George Papuchis.
Altar Servers
In the Eastern Orthodox Church, altar servers assist the higher clergy during services. They might carry the cross, candles or liturgical fans in processions and entrances. The role of an altar server is an integral part of our worship services.
Bible Study Group
Weekly meetings to go through scripture together, discovering the deeper meanings and how it applies to our life. Contact Fr. John for more information.
Byzantine Choir
In keeping with the rich Orthodox Tradition of using Byzantine chant to convey the beauty of the liturgical hymns in our worship services, our Byzantine Choir seeks to strengthen this ministry by welcoming new members and offering a place to grow and flourish. Please contact the Church office if interested in participating in this ministry.
Church School
The Church School program fosters spiritual learning through age-appropriate lessons, which include an introduction to Church feasts and fasts, liturgical practices, prayers, Bible stories, crafts and projects, and liturgical hymns.
Greek School
Our Greek School is a youth ministry whose objective is the teaching of the Greek language, culture, traditions, and observance of Greek National holidays in an Orthodox environment. Contact Dr. George Lountos.
Hospitality Ministry
This ministry welcomes visitors and also coordinates fellowship activities after Sunday Liturgy in order to provide a warm and welcoming environment for both parishioners and visitors alike. Please contact the Church Office if you're interested in leading this ministry or hosting Coffee Hour.
Kali Parea

St. Eugenia Ladies Philoptochos
"Philoptochos" (friend of the poor), is the philanthropic arm of the Church which seeks to witness Christ in the Greater Frederick area through charitable fundraising and events. Contact Georgette Calomeris or visit the Philoptochos website.
Youth Ministry (Hope/Joy & GOYA)
We believe that the goal of Orthodox Christian Youth Ministry is the integration of each young person fully into the total life of the Church. We believe that Orthodox Christians must commit themselves to living the Orthodox Faith daily. Worship, Witness, Service, and Fellowship are the natural expressions of that commitment. Our Hope/Joy & GOYA Ministries are grounded in these beliefs. Our curriculum is centered on providing a spiritual foundation for our youth with activities meant to foster fundamental Christian values and beliefs.
