Come, let us worship the Lord together in Spirit and in Truth

Our Mission

Our mission is to worship the one God, the Holy Trinity, and share the good news of Jesus with each other, our neighbors, and the world. We do this through worshiping beautifully, connecting in fellowship, serving those in need, and teaching the wisdom and transformative power of the apostolic Christian Tradition.

Our Family

At St. Nicholas, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy in English every Sunday and welcome all to join us, regardless of your religious or ethnic background. Our parish is made of up a blend of people who have been Orthodox all their lives, people who have just recently converted, elders in the faith, families with young children, and single young men and women. Whatever your situation in life, we’re sure you’ll feel welcome.

Questions?

Please feel free to ask our priest any questions you might have by phone, by email, or simply by approaching him after a service. Also, please feel welcome to join us downstairs after the Sunday service for coffee hour! This is a great way to get to know our community.

New to Orthodoxy? How Do I Engage?

The best way to engage with Orthodoxy is to get involved in a local parish. Regularly attend the services, stay for coffee hour on Sunday, ask Fr. Ignatius any questions you may have, attend our regular classes, and look for ways to serve the community.  Approaching the Orthodox faith in this way gives you the greatest chance of encountering the real deal, fullness of the faith.

If you choose, rather, to only get involved with digital Orthodoxy: online groups which can become argumentative, self-guided research, content creators who may not even have the blessing of their bishop to teach, you are short-changing yourself.  

Online Orthodoxy is not Christ’s Church.  It can become an unhealthy substitute for what Christ established: a community of flesh and blood people who relate to each other face-to-face and who are led by accountable clergy who know the Faith and are authorized to teach it.  Authentic Christianity is all about worshipping Christ together in community and serving others.  

In addition, before visiting, you may want to read this excellent article which explains some liturgical practices you may be unfamiliar with "First Visit to an Orthodox Church: Twelve Things I Wish I'd Known."

Already Orthodox?

You may find we do some things differently than you're used to, though much will likely be the same. If you have questions, ask Father Ignatius.

Get Involved

  • ​Come to a service. The regular service times are listed below, and you can find times for other services by visiting the Calendar page. See the map at the bottom of the page to find our address and directions.

    • Vespers, Saturdays, 5 p.m.

    • Matins, Sundays, 8:15 a.m.

    • Divine Liturgy, Sundays, 9:30 a.m.

  • Stay for coffee hour, which takes place downstairs and begins right after Divine Liturgy ends on Sunday morning.

  • Attend a class. Fr. Ignatius regularly teaches classes on Orthodoxy and leads book studies in which participant discussion is encouraged. Ask him for more details on any current classes.

  • Send your children to Sunday School, which takes place downstairs and begins right after communion. If you want your kids to have a firm foundation for their faith that will remain steady even into their adulthood, it’s vital that they get involved and learn as much as they can right now.
