Its hard to talk about the city of Tarpon Springs without talking about the Greek Culture, they are intertwined. The citys most famous church is leaning on its Greek heritage to support its biggest restoration project to date.St . Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church has been a staple in the Tarpon Springs community since 1943. They are looking for the communitys help with a capital campaign called, A legacy of faith; a future of hope.Watch report from Robert Boyd St. Nicholas church in Tarpon Springs launches $6M restoration campaignThe biggest issues are water intrusion, and weve watched it kind of progress over time without doing a lot to mitigate and finally it gets to the point, wow we got to do something, said Dale Terrell. Terrell has been a caretaker at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church for more than a decade. He notices every time theres a new crack or chip in the paint.  The biggest thing with a project like this is raising some money, and this is a good deal of money, because first of all the project is on the outside building and the even bigger project will be on the inside, said Terrell. The goal is to raise six million dollars through donations and fundraisers. However, Terrell said what you cant put a price on is the artwork inside, like the stain glass windows, chandeliers and paintings.Certain things can be removed and then restored and certain things cant, so that will all be part of this project as well and we have experienced people working on that, said Terrell.  He did say the church has good reason to be optimistic in the communitys generosity and hopes to begin renovations by the end of the year. You know its hard to overstate how important it is for these people in this town, said Terrell. This is one of the most visited attractions in North Pinellas County and I say, 'if you havent seen the church, you havent seen Tarpon Spring.' For more information, go here  ...read more read less
