History

Saint John Chrysostom Greek Orthodox Church of Nashville, Tennessee serves as a second Orthodox Christian community in a city whose Greek Orthodox history is anchored by the long-established Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Where Holy Trinity traces its roots to the Spartan immigrant Frank Mooney's arrival in 1884 and the formal organization of a parish in 1917, Saint John Chrysostom represents a newer chapter in Nashville's Orthodox story, a mission parish established to bring the ancient faith to a different part of the city and to welcome the growing population of Orthodox Christians and seekers drawn to Nashville from across the country.

 

The parish is dedicated to Saint John Chrysostom, the fourth-century Archbishop of Constantinople whose golden-tongued preaching gave him his surname, meaning Golden-Mouthed, and whose profound liturgical and theological legacy shapes every Orthodox Christian parish in the world each Sunday, as the Divine Liturgy that bears his name has been the central act of Orthodox Christian worship for more than fifteen centuries.

 

The community conducts all services in English and maintains a welcoming and outward-facing spirit, offering a Saint Anastasia Recovery Fellowship alongside its regular Sunday worship and weekly ministries, reflecting a commitment to meeting people wherever they are in their lives and their faith journey.

 

Saint John Chrysostom Greek Orthodox Church at 6705 Charlotte Pike in Nashville serves the Orthodox Christian faithful of the greater Nashville area as a parish of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Detroit within the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
