        About Us!The Orthodox Church is the original Christian Church established by Jesus Christ in A.D. 33. From that time on, the successors to the Apostles, the bishops, have maintained incorrupt this holy faith. The Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of America, a semi-autonomous eparchy of the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece, under His Beatitude, Archbishop Kallinikos, is made up of two Metropolises (America and Toronto) and two Dioceses (Portland and Boston) subject to the Metropolis of America. The Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians in America was established in the 1950's with the arrival of the ever-memorable Archimandrite Petros Astyfides (1915-1997), who later became Metropolitan of Astoria. In 1954 he founded the church of St. Markella in Astoria NY, which later became his Cathedral. In the Church of the G.O.C. in America there are now 18 parishes and 17 missions, 2 men's monasteries, 2 convents, and 2 sketes, 44 priests, and 11 deacons throughout 20 states in America, 2 provinces in Canada, and Guatemala. The ruling hierarch of the Metropolis of America is His Beatitude Archbishop Kallinikos of Athens and all-Greece who on Nov. 6/19, 2013 was appointed by the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece as Locum Tenens of the Metropolis of America upon the resignation of His Eminence, Metropolitan Pavlos of America.
