Holy Apostles Orthodox Mission

Greetings from Holy Apostles Mission!

We welcome you to the website of Holy Apostles Orthodox Mission in Bowling Green, KY. We are a Mission of the North American Antiochian Archdiocese, led by Metropolitan PHILIP. We are shepherded locally by the Very Reverend Father Michael Nasser, our pastor and priest.

We seek to follow Christ in the fullness of the Orthodox Christian Faith that has been passed on for 2,000 years. Named after the Holy Apostles, we hope, through their prayers, to follow their example by entering into the life of God in Christ, and then by bringing that life to our community.

A Message from our Pastor

Dear Friend,

Thank you for visiting the online presence of Holy Apostles Orthodox Christian Mission of Bowling Green, Kentucky. If you are new to our parish community, we invite you to explore the pages of this website and contact us with any questions you might have. Our hope is that you would follow up this online visit with an in-person one. Our parish community is primarily comprised of former members of a large variety of Christian denominations who have sought out the Church of the New Testament and found it in the Orthodox Church. The rest of our community are Greeks, Ukrainians, Serbs, Arabs, Russians and some just plain "Heinz 57" Americans who have been blessed to grow up as Orthodox Christians.

We are a Christian, Evangelical, Baptist, Adventist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Catholic, Messianic Church of Christ! Not sure how all of those come together? Come and See! We love to have visitors and we promise you a warm welcome. Please see the "Service Schedule" page for an up-to-date schedule or see the calendar to the right of this page.

If you're looking for information on the Orthodox Church, you can see the "About Orthodoxy" section to the left. Curious about your own possible journey to Orthodoxy? Click on "Journey to Orthodox" to the right. For those interested in an even deeper look, we have a wonderful collection of books for sale in our Holy Apostles Bookstore on Orthodox spirituality, theology and history, open before and after services and by appointment.

For those who have never been to an Orthodox Christian service, we once more invite you to come and taste the timeless beauty of ancient Christian worship.

Again, thanks for visiting our site and we hope to see you in person soon!

Your servant in Christ,

Fr. Michael Nasser

Quotes from the Fathers

"However hard I try, I find it impossible to construct anything greater than these three words, 'Love one another' —only to the end, and without exceptions: then all is justified and life is illumined, whereas otherwise it is an abomination and a burden."

—Mother Maria of Paris
