ABOUT US
Three Hierarchs is a growing and diverse community sharing “one faith, one Lord, one baptism” (Eph. 4:5). While a few of our members were Orthodox Christians from childhood, the vast majority of our membership has come to the Orthodox Faith from other spiritual backgrounds or none at all. Some are long-time residents of the Wenatchee Valley, others more recent. Most importantly, we are one united spiritual family, desiring to love and worship the all-holy Trinity “in spirit and in truth” (Jn. 4:23)—God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. We are also sinners, yet striving for union with God by grace through faith and repentance. Services at Three Hierarchs are in English.

OUR CLERGY
Fr. Michael Shanbour
Pastor
-
The future Father Michael Shanbour was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas and baptized into the Holy Orthodox Church as an infant. His home parish of St. George, under the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, was officially established in 1921 by Orthodox immigrants from Lebanon.
Shanbour’s maternal great-grandfather, the Rt. Rev. Shukrallah Shadid, was called with his family from his home country to the U.S. to serve the Orthodox community in Oklahoma City. Father Shukrallah also travelled to Wichita to serve the community there as well, a mission church community at that time without a priest. That mission church has grown to become St. George Orthodox Christian Cathedral, home of Bishop Basil Essey of the Antiochian Diocese of Wichita and Mid America, with a thriving community of descendants from those first Lebanese immigrants as well as a large and growing contingent of converts to the Orthodox Faith.
Fr. Michael McNiel

Father Michael McNiel was ordained to the holy diaconate by Metropolitan JOSEPH on November 1, 2020, and subsequently elevated to the priesthood by Metropolitan Saba on February 11, 2024. He has served Three Holy Hierarchs in Wenatchee for many years and is a talented preacher and teacher of the Orthodox faith.

Temple building project
Prayer for the Construction of our Church Temple:
"O Lord Jesus Christ our God, Cornerstone of Thy holy Church, Giver of every good gift, the One who first loved us, look down upon us Thy people who desire to build a temple unto Thy glory in memory of Thy Holy Three Hierarchs and grant us the wisdom, strength, and resources to accomplish this task in accordance with Thy will. Remember the friends and benefactors of this parish who support the construction of this holy temple and bless them with Thy good things. And as Thou didst proclaim that even if Thy disciples were silent, the very stones would cry out, so also grant that this holy temple may proclaim Thee and draw all who dwell in this city and county to worship Thee in spirit and in truth. Inflame our hearts with love for Thee that we may offer to Thee ourselves and all Thou hast given us to the glory of Thy holy Name. For Thou art the true Philanthropist—the Lover of Mankind—and to Thee we send up glory, together with Thine eternal Father, and Thy most holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.”
