36th Annual Leadership 100 Conference | Member Registration Coming Soon
Each year, the Conference is one of the defining experiences for members of Leadership 100 — a chance to step away from the demands of daily life and reconnect with the people and purpose that make this organization so special.
Where Your Support Goes: Religious Education | Sunday School
What does Leadership 100 philanthropy look like in the life of a child? Sometimes, it looks like a teacher opening a new lesson plan on Sunday morning. A student completing a worksheet that connects the Gospel to everyday life. A family continuing a conversation about faith long after church has ended.
Where Your Support Goes: Religious Education | Parochial Schools
For nearly a century, the Department of Religious Education of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America has worked to help generations of Orthodox Christians deepen their relationship with Christ and understand the teachings, traditions and life of the Church. Today, under the leadership of His Grace Bishop Athenagoras of Nazianzos, that mission is entering an important new chapter.
Coming Soon: Leadership 100 Sunday
On Sunday, October 25, Greek Orthodox parishes across the country will celebrate the eighteenth observance of National Leadership 100 Sunday.
Where Your Support Goes: The FREEDOM Ministry
One of the most profound questions we can ask as Leadership 100 members is: "What does our support make possible?" In the case of the FREEDOM Ministry, the answer is a powerful, faith-based response to one of the most pressing moral crises of our time: human trafficking.
Philanthropist Members of the Month
For Gerry and Jeannie Ranglas, philanthropy is more than giving. It is an expression of faith, a responsibility to strengthen the Church, preserve Hellenic heritage, and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to experience the Orthodox faith and culture that have shaped their lives.
Emerging Professionals Spotlight: Feature Stories from our Younger Members
One of Leadership 100's greatest strengths is its ability to inspire and engage the next generation of Greek Orthodox leaders. Across the country, young professionals are stepping forward to carry on a legacy of faith, stewardship, and service while bringing fresh perspectives and new energy to the future of our Church. These emerging leaders demonstrate that a commitment to Orthodoxy and Hellenism can be seamlessly integrated with successful careers, growing families, and active involvement in their communities.
Where Your Support Goes: Fostering Fellowship and Purpose with The Young Adult League (YAL)
The need for community does not end with college. Beyond the university years, young professionals face the exciting, yet often isolating, task of building their adult lives. Careers, relationships, marriage, family, and other responsibilities can make it increasingly difficult to find meaningful community within the Church.
Where Your Support Goes: Sustaining Faith on Campus with Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF)
For college students, stepping onto a university campus brings immense freedom, alongside new intellectual, social, and spiritual challenges. Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF), the official campus ministry organization of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States, ensures that students do not have to navigate this transformative season alone.
Philanthropist Members of the Month
Leadership 100 is honored to recognize Steve and Angela Zervoudis as our July Philanthropist Members of the Month, celebrating their lifetime of faithful stewardship, visionary leadership, and unwavering commitment to the Greek Orthodox Church and the Hellenic community.
Where Your Support Goes: Metropolis and Archdiocesan District Summer Camps
As the summer months reach their peak, the campgrounds of our Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America are bustling with life, laughter, and prayer. From coast to coast, our Archdiocesan District and Metropolis summer camps are fully active, welcoming thousands of our youth back to nature, fellowship, and closer communion with Christ.
Leadership 100 at the 48th Biennial Clergy-Laity Congress: Look Back
Each Clergy-Laity Congress reminds us of what is possible when clergy and laity come together in service to Christ and His Church. This year's gathering, centered on the theme "Rise and Build," brought together thousands of faithful to worship, deliberate, learn, and celebrate the vibrant ministries of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
Safeguarding Our Youth: How Leadership 100 Strengthens Safety Across the Archdiocese
Leadership 100’s ongoing commitment to youth protection continues to make a measurable difference across the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Through the Youth Safety Awareness Grant, approved in 2022 and funded at $40,000, the Department of Youth Safety has advanced a comprehensive effort to ensure every parish, ministry, camp, and youth program operates with the highest standards of safety, screening, and training.
Celebrating our Nation’s 250th Anniversary
The Archbishop Iakovos Leadership 100 Fund commemorates the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the United States of America with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
Philanthropist Members of the Month
Leadership 100 is blessed with members whose generosity, vision, and devotion to our faith strengthen the Church and transform lives across the world. To honor that extraordinary spirit, we are launching a new monthly feature: L100 Philanthropist Members of the Month.
Where Your Support Goes: The Center for Family Care
The Center for Family Care of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America stands at the heart of the Church’s pastoral mission: strengthening marriages, supporting parents, nurturing children, and equipping clergy to minister to the spiritual and emotional needs of today’s families.
Spotlight on Clergy Laity Congress 2026
Leadership 100 is honored to serve as a Major Benefactor of the 48th Biennial Clergy-Laity Congress, the premier gathering of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, taking place June 30 – July 2, 2026, at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio. This year’s theme, “Rise & Build” (Nehemiah 2:18), captures the spirit of renewal and shared purpose that defines our Archdiocese — and it reflects the very mission Leadership 100 has championed for more than four decades.
Where Your Support Goes - The Enduring Impact of Leadership 100 on Greek and Religious Education
For more than four decades, Leadership 100 has played a defining role in advancing Greek language and Orthodox Christian education across the United States. Through strategic investments in programs, curriculum development, and national initiatives, Leadership 100 continues to strengthen both the preservation of Hellenic identity and the transmission of Orthodox faith to future generations.
Where Your Support Goes - Advancing Parish Sustainability
Advancing Parish Sustainability: Leadership 100 supports planned giving Initiative. Through the generosity of a Leadership 100 grant, clergy and lay leaders from twenty parishes across the Archdiocesan District recently came together for the inaugural Lunch & Learn Workshop on Parish Planned Giving - marking an important step forward in strengthening the long-term financial sustainability of parishes.
Next Generation Spotlight: Young Professionals Program
As the organization enters a new chapter under Chairman Michael Bapis and Executive Director Father Panagiotis, the focus on engaging young professionals is both timely and essential. For the Greek Orthodox community, these individuals are not simply participants, they are stewards of the future, responsible for carrying forward the values of Orthodoxy and Hellenism while navigating the challenges of a rapidly evolving world.
