Coming Soon: 2026 Leadership 100 Sunday
On Sunday, October 25, Greek Orthodox parishes across the country will celebrate the eighteenth observance of National Leadership 100 Sunday.
Held each year on or near the Feast Day of Saint Iakovos, Leadership 100 Sunday honors the legacy of Archbishop Iakovos of Blessed Memory, who envisioned Leadership 100 as a way to unite committed Orthodox Christians in investing in the future of the Church in America.
What Does It Mean to Be a Leadership 100 Member?
Leadership 100 membership is a long-term commitment to the future of our Church.
Our members come from different generations, professions, and communities, but they share a common belief: our Church is worth investing in.
Membership is about more than giving. It is about helping ensure that our children and grandchildren inherit a Church that is vibrant, well-supported, and prepared for the future. Together, individual commitments become a powerful collective force, allowing Leadership 100 to provide meaningful support to ministries across the Archdiocese.
Why Leadership 100 Sunday Matters
For Leadership 100 to continue growing its impact, more Orthodox Christians need to understand what Leadership 100 is, what it does, and why membership matters.
That awareness begins in our parishes.
As a member, you are one of Leadership 100’s most important ambassadors. Talk with friends and fellow parishioners about why you joined. Share the impact of a Leadership 100 grant. Introduce someone new to the organization. Invite a prospective member to the annual Conference. Most importantly, help others understand that philanthropy is not simply about giving to the Church; it is about building the future of the Church.
As we celebrate National Leadership 100 Sunday on October 25, we invite every member to help bring the Leadership 100 story into their local parish.
Talk about it. Share it. Invite someone into it.
Together, we can ensure that the next generation understands not only what Leadership 100 has built, but why it is worth continuing to build.
