Mid-Eastern Federation of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians (MEFGOX) This stewardship covers all the church musicians in the parish: choir directors, singers, organists, chanters, clergy, and Church School music coordinators.

Welcome to the official page for the Mideastern Federation of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians! -Serving the Metropolises of Detroit and Pittsburgh for over seventy years- Although MEFGOX has been around for over seventy years, there is still confusion about what it is.

♪ The purpose of the Federation is to assist parishes develop their church music programs – by presenting training programs, providing resources, offering assistance, and offering scholarships.

♪ 'MEFGOX' is the acronym for the Mid-Eastern Federation of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians. (Originally, the 'X' stood for the Greek 'chorodia.')

♪ All the parishes of the Metropolis are able to be members of the Mid-Eastern Federation, simply by making an annual stewardship contribution. (Thus the change in name to 'church musicians.')

♪ The business of the Federation is conducted by the Federation Council which meets once during the year and at the annual convention. Ideally, each parish should send representatives to these meetings.

♪ Scholarships are awarded annually to young people who are active church musicians in their parishes and wish to continue their music studies. Scholarships are also available to adults, who want to improve their directing, vocal, or accompanying skills in order to serve our Holy Orthodox Church.

♪ For more information about the Federation or for scholarship/stewardship forms, please click the forms and files tab on our website.
