The Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Apostles,[1] in common use simply Church of the Apostles (Hebrew: כנסיית השליחים, Knessiath haShlichim; Greek language: Εκκλησία Αποστόλων) is the church at the centre of the Greek Orthodox Monastery of the Holy Apostles at Capernaum, standing among the ruins of ancient Capernaum (Kfar Nachum) near the shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel.

[1][3] The church marks the site of the ancient village of Capernaum, which is an important place in Christianity.

The village is frequently mentioned in the Gospels and was Jesus' main base during his Galilean ministry.

[2] The church is actually dedicated to all twelve apostles, which also make sense due to the long stay of Jesus and his closest disciples in Capernaum.
