A journey through our ministry
Vision & mission
Our vision is to see the next generations in Greece bringing the hope and good news of Jesus Christ to the Eastern Mediterranean region and the world.
Our mission is to cultivate reproducing Christ-dependent relationships in communities that invite people to be reconciled to God and each other by responding to the needs of society and restoring their dignity and value.
Staying the course
Over 40 years ago, our founder, Costas Macris and his family, responded to the vision of reaching their homeland, Greece, with the Gospel upon returning from mission work in the jungles of Irian Jaya. God was moving in Greece in the days of Paul, and He is moving in Greece today. Read more about the history of Hellenic Ministries below.

Relief & compassion
Colored olives: Depict the stages of compassion, from meeting basic needs to supporting physical, mental, and emotional well-being, and helping individuals find their place in society.
Overall symbolism: The olive branch embodies a thriving community of faith and life, responding to societal needs and truly representing the gospel.
