A New Home for Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Church

Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Christian Church has found a new home! The parishioners of Victorious Messiah in Weatherford have accepted our offer to purchase their current building and grounds.  This facility is more than twice the size of the current lease space and has nearly .75 acres of open space for children to play, additional parking, or future expansion.  Located just east of the Weatherford square, it is ideally situated for future growth. 

To see more information about the property along with plenty of pictures, see here: https://txchurch4sale.com/

Our small parish has grown tremendously in the last 18 months and is currently filling up the existing lease space in Azle each weekend. We are seeking to raise $75,000 for additional down payment.  Combined with our current building fund and financing, this money will be the final piece needed to purchase this new property.  **The sellers have given us 45 days to meet this goal and make this potential purchase a reality.**  Please help us in this endeavor.

•You can donate directly on our website, just click the “Donate” button on the top right hand corner of our homepage and choose “Building Fund” from the drop down menu.
