Greek Orthodox Church

In 1917 the faithful of Flint decided to undertake the tremendous task of building their own church. With much dedication, personal sacrifice and hard work, they built the second Greek Orthodox Church of Michigan on the corner of North Saginaw and Gillespie Streets at a cost of $16,000. The AGOC of Flint was completed in 1928 and was considered an outstanding building in the city. The first priest of AGOC was the late Rev. Fr. John Kapenekas who was ordained in Detroit by his Eminence Archbishop Rodostolou of New York.
