WE DID IT!
Dear Fellow Parishioners,
Thanks to your incredible generosity and support, we did it! In only 6 months, our community pulled together to raise over One Million Dollars so that the young people of our community will have a place to play sports, to gather and to grow closer to the community.
Based on our agreement, the anonymous donor has matched the One Million Dollars, and we look forward to the beginning of construction!
To those of you who gave your time, your support, and your treasures, from all of us and from the children of our community: Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Embrace The Challenge!
"I've been playing since I was six or seven. I would love having a gym at the church so we could actually play at home." - George Theodosopoulos, age 12
Ministering to the whole person in mind, body, and spirit is an essential mission of the church. Please help us raise funds for the gymnasium—the "body" phase of our building campaign.
The challenge ahead is significant: we must raise One Million Dollars by the end of 2011. If we accomplish this goal, an anonymous donor will match our funds, doubling our efforts.
The gym will provide our young people a space to build strong ties within our community, and it will give future generations a place for fellowship, recreation and athletics.
Meet The Gym Committee
Please get in touch with the gym committee to learn more about the urgency of this important project. They would love to answer your questions, listen to new ideas, and respond to concerns.

The gym will "serve as a place where the children can congrate, bond, and develop their friendships through athletics, community and church-related functions."
Peter Sanoulis

"As a father of four children, I would like my children to grow up and look back at their days at Archangel Michael and remember the games that were played, the dances they attended and the friendships that were developed all because of the the gym."
George Patilis
Member of the community since 2006"The gym will have immediate and long lasting impact on the community. Our children will benefit from the gym immediately—having a place to call home, a venue to host their events and more importantly an environment that will foster and enhance the building of lifelong relationships with their friends."

Greg Giannakopoulos

The gym "is multi-purpose in nature, and will allow us to come together in fellowship as we nourish our collective spirit, mind and body."
Eleni Sfiroudis
Member of Archangel Michael since 2002
"We believe our children’s spiritual growth, and the relationships they form at their young ages, will equip them to stay connected to their faith throughout their lives. Completing our church complex, and in particular the gym, is the final piece in this puzzle."
Ilias Theodoropoulos
Member of the community since 2001
The gym "will complete the community."
Jim Ziozis
Member of the community since 1997
"The gym is the last major structure in the completion of the vision for the future of our community."
