The Parish Council serves as the administrative, financial, and operational steward of the Prophet Elias community, working alongside the priest to support the spiritual life and physical well-being of the parish.

• Financial Stewardship & Governance: Manages the parish budget, oversees financial operations, maintains insurance, and ensures accountability and transparency in all administrative matters.

• Property & Facility Management: Oversees the maintenance, improvement, and security of the church, community center, and surrounding grounds to ensure a welcoming environment for worship and fellowship.

• Ministry & Program Support: Collaborates with the clergy to facilitate liturgical life, educational programs, youth ministries, and major parish events or festivals.

• Community Leadership: Acts as a liaison between the parishioners, the Metropolis, and the Archdiocese, fostering unity, hospitality, and active engagement among church members.

Council members can easily be identified by their name tags during services and events. Please feel free to approach them if you need anything at all, or simply to let them know they are doing a great job
