ENDOWMENT BOARD

Mihail Miletkov and his family have been at St. Nicholas since 2008. He grew up in Bulgaria and came to the US to study in college. Mihail is professor of finance at the University of New Hampshire, and appreciates the opportunity to contribute his time and talent to the ministries of the Orthodox Church.

Leon Nicholas is the President of the St. Nicholas Endowment. His desire is to create an opportunity for parishioners to create a legacy that will sustain our community for generations to come. With our capital needs increasingly met, St. Nicholas can direct our future expenditures to the growth of Christ’s Gospel on the Seacoast.

Deb Genimatas Walker’s family has attended St. Nicholas for over 90 years. Her father, who was very active in the building of our current church, was a past Parish President and a Godfather of our Church here on Andrew Jarvis Drive. Her mother was a Sunday School teacher and Philoptochos President for many years. Deb hopes to honor their dedication by ensuring St. Nicholas has a strong financial base for future generations, so that our church will continue to be an active, relevant and nurturing spiritual home for her children, grandchildren and beyond.  

Jim Bouzianis has been involved with the endowment foundation since its inception in 2005. He is one of its founding board members and a past President. Jim has been a parishioner of Saint Nicholas for over 25 years and considers his responsibility toward the endowment, a sacred trust, and an obligation to ensure that the generous gifts made by the donors are managed prudently, consistent with the endowment foundation bylaws, for the benefit of our church. He believes that the endowment is the key to the long-term financial security of Saint Nicholas, ensuring that our church will exist for generations to come.

Greg Kanteres and his wife, Janice, have been active members of the Greek Orthodox Church wherever they reside. Greg was the parish council president at the Assumption GOC in Town & Country, Missouri for six years prior to their relocation back to New England — specifically Hampton, NH. St Nicholas offers many opportunities to provide his stewardship of giving his time, talent and treasure. Some of the financial options are Stewardship for ongoing church expenses, Capital Planning for special projects, and Endowment for perpetuity and the upkeep of the church and grounds. We strive to help St Nicholas in all areas of need be it spiritual, ministry, social, financial, educational or a place of solace and solitude. We believe in illumining souls by living Christ's gospel message.
