History

Sts. Constantine and Helen Chapel of Battle Creek, Michigan brings the Greek Orthodox faith to the heart of south-central Michigan, serving the Orthodox Christian faithful of Calhoun County and the surrounding communities from its home at 1020 West Goguac Street. The chapel is dedicated to two of the most significant figures in the history of Christianity: Constantine the Great, the Roman emperor whose Edict of Milan in 313 established religious tolerance for Christians throughout the empire, and his mother Saint Helena, traditionally credited with discovering the True Cross during her pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Together, mother and son are venerated as Equal to the Apostles and celebrated each year on May 21.

 

The chapel is serviced by clergy of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Detroit rather than a resident priest, a common arrangement for smaller Orthodox communities in regions far from the major metropolitan centers of Greek Orthodox life in Michigan. Sunday Divine Liturgy gathers the faithful of the Battle Creek area in worship, maintaining an Orthodox Christian presence in a part of Michigan that would otherwise be without access to the ancient liturgical tradition of the Eastern Church.

 

Sts. Constantine and Helen Chapel at 1020 West Goguac Street in Battle Creek serves the Orthodox Christian faithful of Calhoun County as a chapel of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Detroit within the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
