Mar Gregorios Syrian Orthodox Church
Tampa, FL
Our Mission
Throughout generations, believers have seen the local church as the source that enables them to enlighten their spiritual and mental strength in good times and bad times. It is teaching and preaching, fellowship, and worship, that draws one closer to God. The church is where we provide faith and inspiration to our next generation to keep them as a nation "Under GOD". It is a community of faith, a home for individuals to express and mature in, and a place for us to renew our relationship with God and with one another. As a congregation of believers, we provide the resources and the atmosphere to enable you to maintain your relationship with God.
"And this gospel regarding the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come." - Matthew 24:14
Prayer and Mass
Faith in Scripture
Holy Qurbana Service
Holy Qurbana is the most important sacrament of our church. Our Lord instituted this sacrament on the eve of His death and gave special instruction to continue to celebrate it. (Luke 22:19)
Every Sunday at 9.30 AM
Monthly Bible Study
Our parishioners have decided to hold monthly bible studies. These studies offer a vital part of our faith.
As Christ said "When two or three gather in my name, I am with them" (Matthew 18:30).
When believers congregate, each member positively affects others and their knowledge in the scriptures also increases.
These meetings are conducted in the houses of our parishioners.

-
Educate our kids about the values of Christian faith, the testaments and the history of Syrian Orthodox Church.
-
