PASTOR

Very Reverend Father Christopher Eid

With the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Philip of thrice blessed memory, he enrolled in Saint Vladimir seminary and completed his Masters of Divinity degree in May of 2010. 

In 2011, Father Christopher was ordained to the Holy Diaconate on September 8 and then to the Holy Priesthood on September 11. 

In 2021, Father Christopher was Elevated to the Dignity of Archpriest on September 12th. In his remarks after concluding the elevation, Bishop THOMAS noted that this dignity is granted not based upon tenure (having served in the capacity of the priesthood for ten years) but rather due to a priest’s ability to lead and be a priest other priests can look up to.

While serving as a full-time priest, Father Christopher started attending The Eastern Christian Focus Doctor of Ministry Program Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
