Our Story

Our Community welcomes all of you to St. Demetrios Church, which has been serving Eastern Orthodox Christians in the Tri-County area since 1959. At that time, the initial founders could not have imagined that the little community they started would grow to this extent, and through its many ministries would meet the spiritual needs of many communicants of the area and of many visitors.
