| Greetings in the name of our Lord and God and Savior, Jesus Christ!
We welcome you to the website of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church. We are a growing community made up of members from a variety of backgrounds and drawn together by the healing and transfiguring Light of Christ, which we've found in the Orthodox Christian faith. The purpose of this website is to provide a brief introduction to the Orthodox Church and to our parish. We welcome visitors to our services, which are all in English. If you are a newcomer or a visitor from another parish, please contact our pastor, Fr. Daniel, with any questions you may have. If you are discovering Orthodox Christianity for the first time, we invite you to "come and see" as you join us in worship of the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
