Our History
A community rooted in Orthodox faith, strengthened through generations and united in worship.
About Our Church
Faith, community and belonging
For more than four decades, Prophet Elias Greek Orthodox Church has provided a spiritual home for Orthodox Christians throughout Mississauga and the surrounding communities.
The move to Matheson Boulevard
After several years at its original location, our parish moved to its present home on Matheson Boulevard, where our church community has continued to grow and flourish.
Building a sacred space
The church was designed according to the traditional Byzantine architectural style of Orthodox churches. Its grand dome, supported by large columns, was inspired by the magnificent Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, completed in A.D. 537.
Our church iconography
The church’s beautiful iconography was created by Florin Vlad, an accomplished master iconographer from Romania. Through sacred images, the interior expresses the faith and tradition of the Orthodox Church.
Serving the Greater Toronto Area
Located near Dixie Road and Highway 401, just west of Pearson International Airport, our church serves parishioners from Burlington to Etobicoke, Woodbridge to southwest Toronto, and Georgetown to Guelph.
