St. John Chrysostom Melkite Catholic Church

St. John Chrysostom Melkite Catholic Church is a parish community of the Melkite Eparchy of Newton, located in Atlanta, Georgia. As part of the Eastern Catholic Church of the Byzantine rite, it is in full communion with the Holy See in Rome. The church traces its roots back to the ancient Syrian cities of Antioch and Damascus, making it one of the oldest continuous Christian communities in the world.

The church offers a variety of liturgical services, including the Divine Liturgy, Vespers, and Orthros, as well as special services during Great Lent. It serves as a spiritual family where members gather for worship, education, and community events. The church also provides opportunities for parishioners to engage in stewardship and educational activities, fostering spiritual growth and community involvement.

The church is housed in a historic building that was once the Candler Mansion, adding a unique architectural and historical dimension to its presence in Atlanta. The transformation of the mansion into a place of worship reflects the church's commitment to maintaining its traditional and spiritual identity while serving as a welcoming place for all who wish to join in its liturgical and community life.
