Welcome!

The EFGOCM has served the parishes in the Metropolis of New Jersey for over 45 years as a resource to our church musicians. 

EFGOCM supports our choirs through workshops and conferences and provides resources to enrich and enhance our musicians.

EFGOCM supports our chanters through workshops and resources to preserve our beautiful byzantine tradition. 

EFGOCM supports our clergy to improve upon vocal health as well as enhancing their parish's music ministry program.

EFGOCM supports our youth by helping to establish youth choirs and hymnology programs, and to encourage participation in the parish life.

Navigate around and you will find the latest information on upcoming workshops, concerts, our annual conference, scholarship information, archived photos, awards, and resources; and read the latest (or archived) version of The First Mode (our newsletter).  

Let us know if there are initiatives or directions you would like to see us begin, continue or just improve upon.

We look forward to your continued participation in our Church Music Ministry!

Paul P. Mavromihalis, President
