All glory to Him who is our Source, our Life, and our Hope --Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Amen!
Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church was founded in 1976. A decade later, the church building was dedicated on April 4, 1987, at its present location at 2510 N. Stevendale Road; Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

STEWARDSHIP: 2011/2012 STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN:
Abide in Me
With your support, your Church ministries will be possible. May God’s blessings be with you and with your family.
National Stewardship Commission/Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America
YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE BODY OF CHRIST
Abide in Me Our theme for 2012 is Abide in Me from chapter 15 of the Gospel of John. At the Last Supper, as we read in Chapter 15 of the Gospel of John, Jesus instructed His disciples, "I Am the Vine; you are the branches." He was telling us that the purpose of our abiding in Him is that we may bear fruit for God in the world. "By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit..." Just as the vine bears fruit only through its branches, so Jesus has chosen to work in the world through us. We are the members of His Body. We are the branches through which the True Vine must bear fruit. We bear fruit when we serve and support God and His Church.
