In our website we tried to present not our ideas, but the great idea of Revelation. To present not our words, but the teaching of the incarnated Son and Word of God. We want through this website to spread the messages of the Evangelical Word, the Word of our Church. That's why we created this site. In order to benefit with modern means our brothers who are concerned about truth, salvation and redemption.

THE TEMPLE



Holy temple of St. Christopher - Agrinio town

Saint Christopher is the patron - saint and protector of Agrinio city. There are two Churches consecrated in His name in our city. The old Church of St. Christopher founded in 1847 A.D. and the new one founded in 1920 A.D. and consecrated in 1937 A.D. The concept of building new bigger temple, in the city of Agrinio, belonged at the blessed elder priest fr. Apostolos Fafutis.
With this desire in heart fr. Apostolos started at 1920 A.D. He thought about it, he told his collaborators and went on. There was not any money at all. But his faith was strong. Letters were written to all directions, commissions struggled, the hand was put in front. So, the new Temple of St. Christopher has today this beautiful history. Every corner of the temple bears testimony of the sufferings, tears and struggles of Father Apostolos (Papapostolis) and of all Agrinio citizens.
In 1937 A.D. the temple was consecrated. Today, with the blessings of His Reverence, our Metropolite Kosmas and with the moral and financial help of the devout parishioners and all pilgrims, the various works in the sublime Holy Temple of St. Christopher continue.
Let us all ask St. Christopher's grace, his protection and his intercessions towards our Lord Jesus Christ.
