History
The Assumption Greek Orthodox Church of Marquette, Michigan brings Orthodox Christian worship to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, serving the faithful of the Marquette area and the surrounding Lake Superior region in one of the most remote corners of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Detroit.
Marquette, the largest city in the Upper Peninsula, draws its character from its position on the southern shore of Lake Superior and its history as a center of iron ore mining and Great Lakes shipping. The Orthodox Christians who have made Marquette their home established the Assumption community to preserve their faith in a region far removed from the larger Greek Orthodox communities of lower Michigan, relying on clergy of the Metropolis of Detroit to celebrate the Divine Liturgy and administer the sacraments.
Today, the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church is located at 235 West Ridge Street in Marquette as a parish of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Detroit within the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, offering the faithful of northern Michigan a home in the ancient Orthodox Christian tradition.
