The
Building which houses the Church and community centre is located in an
area of rolling hills. Behind the Church a portion has been reserved
for
a cemetery. The graves of the Parish founders, Demetrios and Vasiliki
Touloumes,
were transferred here. The complex spreads over 31 acres of serene land
in the heart of the Appalachians.
The Ikonostasion, which was
constructed
by the Fathers of Holy Transfigution Monastery for the old Church, is
now
used in the new Church
