Organization Name: Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church
Organization Overview: “Love thy neighbor.” This is the rule we live by here at Holy Trinity.
For the many decades of our presence in the Lansing area, we have sought to build ties of love and cooperation with those around us. Every four years Holy Trinity hosts the Greater Lansing Interfaith Day, which for half a century has brought together people for dialogue and mutual enlightenment. In 2011 we hosted Mayor Virg Bernero’s “Love Wins” Interfaith Unity Fellowship in a show of support for our Muslim friends and neighbors. And in 2014 our parish hosted the Interfaith Thanksgiving Service of the Interfaith Clergy Association of Greater Lansing. We love God, and we love to express that love with the good neighbors God has given us in this beautiful metropolis.
Holy Trinity has been the spiritual nexus for some of the distinctive ethnic communities that make up the wonderful mosaic of diversity in our town. Our parish grew out of the small community of Greek immigrants to Lansing from 1900 onward. Our forebears were joined by Orthodox Christians of Lebanese, Macedonian, Serbian, Romanian, Armenian, and Bulgarian extraction, and most recently our community has been blessed by the addition of parishioners from Ethiopia and Eritrea, along with many others from roots in Western Europe and around the globe. We are truly a diverse community.
We love to share our heritage with our neighbors in Lansing, and above all by treating them to culinary treats from our traditions. Every year we host fundraising dinners like our Gyro Drive-Thru events, the Taste of Greece dinner, and the Athenian Luncheon and Bake Sale that the Philoptochos Ladies’ Society offers. Our sanctuary is open by appointment for visitors to receive a guided tour and learn more about the age-old treasures of Orthodox spirituality. Our guests enjoy especially the opportunity to see classic iconography from the hand of master iconographer George Filippakis of Crete and our stained glass windows by renowned French artist Gabriel Loire..
We maintain strong ties also with the other Orthodox churches around mid-Michigan; as the largest Orthodox parish in the area, Holy Trinity gladly hosts pan-Orthodox events. Our parish is under the spiritual leadership of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Detroit, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (in New York City), and the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (in modern Istanbul). Through our parish, the people of Lansing have a ready connection to the oldest Christian tradition and to the communion of Orthodox believers around the globe.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF
HOLY TRINITY ORTHODOX CHURCH
Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever
In 1915 with the blessing of the late Metropolitan Alexander and the generous gift of ten lots by a real estate firm. Holy Trinity Church began. Founded by Russian immigrants, the first church was located in north Detroit at the intersection of Goddard and Meade. Its construction cost $25,000. The late Rev. Nicholas Godikoff (Goodrich) served as pastor for the first eight years.
In 1923, the late Metropolitan Platon assigned the late V. Rev. Averky Bondarchuk as pastor. A school/hall was built, a church school was started. and a parish home was added during the years at 12900 Goddard.
In 1933, as the membership grew. an addition was built onto the church and a new Iconostas was blessed. Various church organizations, such as the “R” Club, the Sisterhood, and the Brotherhood, were also instituted at this time. Additionally, a bell tower was built in the 1940’s.
However, after World War II, the expanding parish created a need for an even larger facility. So, in 1949, fifty-five lots on East Eight Mile Road between Anglin and Harned Streets in Detroit were purchased. Church bonds financed this project. The growing membership also created a need for two services: one in Slavonic and one in English. So, an assistant Pastor was added for English services, although Communion was only served during the Slavonic service.
Ground breaking for the new facilities was held on July 31, 1955. Construction began on the new church and rectory on August 22, 1955. Finally, in April of 1959, the structures were completed at the cost of $300,000. The first service was held on Pascha May 3, 1959.
The late V. Rev. Bondarchuk retired after 47 years as pastor in December of 1970. During the following two months, the late R. Rev. Father Manchuk served the parish by appointment of the late Archbishop John. The late V. Rev. Father Sam Sura served until July of 1972 when the late V. Rev. Father Andrew Woronovich became the new Pastor.
Under Father Woronovich, more improvements were made. A new Iconostas and altar were blessed and consecrated by the late Metropolitan Ireney. This ceremony included the placement of a relic of St. Herman of Alaska inside the altar.
Father Woronovich served Holy Trinity for twenty-five years until his retirement in July of 1997. The V. Rev. George Breyan then served as pastor for two years. The next pastor is the current priest, Rev. Father Lev Kopistiansky, who was assigned by Bishop Job in July of 1999. Other priests who have served at different times over the years include the R. Rev. Vitaly Bahanovich, the R. Rev. Basil Butchko. the late V. Rev. Walter Diachenko, the late V. Rev. Stephen Rusiniak, the Protopresbyter Daniel Hubiak. and the R. Rev. John Washchek.
Father Lev Kopistiansky has set goals for Holy Trinity’s congregation to strive toward at the onset of this new century. Spiritual growth, worship, education, and financial solvency are the intertwining pathways that are of major focus. Remembering and visiting shut-ins, adult education, the church school program, building improvements, the financial support of seminarians, charity projects, and the establishment of the Frank and Mary Kovach Award for the church school are just some of the examples of the growth mid development necessary to attain these goals.
Throughout these last 96 years and with the many changes which have occurred, Holy Trinity Church continues to pray that God will continue to bless us, make our parish a place of spiritual enlightenment, a place of spiritual repose, and a source of spiritual strength. We also ask that our love for Him and one another keep growing to allow us to continue to come together to do good works. Finally, we ask that we continue to go forward successfully, as we grow in wisdom, knowledge and insight.

Organization Name: Islamic Association of Greater Detroit (IAGD)
Organization Overview: As’salamu alaikum.
When we embarked on this journey, we knew the road would be difficult, but we never imagined that it would be impossible.
As the northern suburbs grew, so did the number of Muslims seeking a sense of community. Groups gathered in private homes for Islamic study and prayers. The existing Masjids were too far away to attend regularly and the need for a local Masjid was imperative. In April 1978, with thirty member families, the Islamic Association of Greater Detroit was established as a non-profit organization.
Initially, the organization continued to meet in homes and also rented space in Larson Middle School for lectures and community dinners. In just one year, vigorous fund-raising accomplished purchasing a three-acre parcel of land. The property included a small blue house and garage which were immediately put to use as a home for the community. By 1982, the plans and continued fund-raising made the construction of the IAGD masjid a reality.
Once built, the IAGD masjid became a focal point for Muslims in the area, and the gatherings grew. Sunday Islamic classes, monthly community dinners and ’Eid salat burgeoned. As the surrounding suburbs grew, so had the number of Muslims who chose to move near the Masjid and to make it a cornerstone in their lives.
