Bringing the Vision to Life

A Place To Belong! A Place To Become!

St. Nicholas Episcopal Church
Congregational Vision

In disciplined response

to the grace and love of God in Christ:

We are a spiritual home, a safe haven,

grounded in Scripture and centered in life,

where we are nurtured and challenged

in our journey of faith.

We welcome all people to join us

in worship and prayer,

and in joyful service to the community around us.

We believe that the only sufficient basis for Christian community

is Christ’s love for us.

We experience that the power of Christ’s love

can hold us together in the midst of great diversity.

Worship
Worship is the heart and soul of our faith community
Believing that corporate worship is the heart and soul of Christian faith and that “all who seek God and are drawn to Christ are welcome at Christ’s Table,” our envision worship that is joyful, warm, and relaxed, yet reverent, inspiring, and uplifting.  Our worship is grounded in Anglican tradition, yet open to other traditions.  We strive for a worship experience that is inviting to newcomer and the stranger, and accessible to all people.  We seek the active involvement in liturgy and music of all God’s people.
