Saint Michael church (Ukrainian: Церква чуда святого Архистратига Михаїла в Хонах) is a Greek Catholic parish church (UGCC) in Verbiatyn of the Buchach urban hromada, Chortkiv Raion, Ternopil Oblast.
Until 1990, the parish and the church was a subsidiary branch of a larger church, so priests from Ozeriany served there. In 1990, the community of Verbiatyn became independent and moved to the UAOC, and in 2018 it became part of the OCU.
On 22 September 2019, Archbishop Tykhon of Ternopil and Buchach visited the parish.
