Introducing the HM family
The Hellenic Ministries team is a family of believers from around the globe. Our team in Athens, consists of individuals and families from Greece and over 20 countries including South Africa, Germany, Ukraine, Canada, Romania, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East. We speak dozens of languages and each hold a different story of how God brought us into new life through Jesus Christ. We are passionate about bringing hope and restoration to others through God’s Spirit in all that we do through practical everyday help.
Some of our teams work in our educational, healthcare, and relief centers, others serve in discipleship, church planting, and media, while still others work behind the scenes administratively or in ensuring our facilities are maintained. Our team serves mainly in Greece and across its islands but has missionaries sent to countries such as Peru and Uganda as well.
Our global family
Our Regional Support Offices (RSO's) provide crucial support in furthering the mission of Hellenic Ministries, functioning as legal representation and serving through their administrative gifting in a variety of ways: fundraising, donor relations, communications, graphic design, financial management, generating tax-deductible receipts, recruitment, and member care.
Though our calling is focused primarily on Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean world, Hellenic Ministries is a missional community which truly spans the globe. From South Africa to Canada, the UK to Australia, diverse communities work tirelessly to support the work we do in Greece and the Near East in four primary ways:
- By enabling missionaries and national workers to be supported
- By the coordination of vision trips, and by sending teams to enthusiastically support outreaches
- By facilitating generous regular and one-time financial partnerships, and by encouraging others to share in the blessing
- By covering every facet of Hellenic Ministries with strategic prayer

A brief history
Hellenic Ministries enjoys a rich heritage stretching back 40+ years, spanning more life-changing testimonies of God’s goodness than we could possibly count:
- In obedience to God’s calling, Hellenic Ministries was among the first national Greek evangelistic and missionary societies in Greece, founded by Costas Macris in 1980.
- Our US office was incorporated in Missouri in 1986 and subsequently moved to Wheaton, IL in 1993.
- An Australian office quickly followed.
- A Canadian office was added in 1996.
- More recently, a South African office was founded in 2005.
- And finally, HM UK in 2024.
