Christ is in our midst!

Our vision: St. Nicholas Church will strive to glorify God through Orthodox Christian worship, sincere love and care for one another, and service to those in need around us.

Who we are: St Nicholas Church is a vibrant community of Orthodox Christians from a diversity of backgrounds who embrace the historic, pre-denominational Orthodox Christian faith. Our parish is recognized as a center of education and evangelism in the greater Pittsburgh area. Our mission is to serve God by worshipping Him and serving others, to deepen our knowledge of Jesus Christ, to renew His Image in us, and to grow into His Likeness by the Grace of the Holy Spirit.

Lenten Schedule 2012

Great Lent, the time of spiritual renewal for all Orthodox Christians worldwide, begins on Monday, February 27. During this time, we refocus our efforts in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to grow closer to Jesus Christ. Join us for the rich and moving services of the Great Fast. You can download a printable schedule here.

Bible Study Begins on 2 Peter

Our parish is currently studying the second letter of St Peter. This letter was written while St Peter was in prison and focuses on the importance of sound teaching and true doctrine.

This is an outstanding opportunity to learn the teaching of the ancient Church. Studies are held every other Wednesday at 7:00 PM, preceeded by a Vespers service at 6:30 PM in the Church. Everyone is welcomed! Check the calendar for the latest dates and times.

Book Discussion Group begins Dickens's "Bleak House"

Our Monday Book Discussion Group will begin a new discussion and a read through of Charles Dicken's "Bleak House." The group will consider themes of self-emptying (or kenosis) found in this work. The Group finished a revealing discussion of Feodor Dostoevsky's masterwork, "The Brother's Karamazov." Everyone is invited to join in this compelling discussion held every other Monday in the parish house. Check the calendar for the latest dates and times.

St Nicholas Church Receives Significant Grant

We are grateful recipients of a generous grant from the Virginia H. Farah Foundation to pursue the creation of senior housing at the old St Mark's School next to our church. Our church is committed to the growth of our parish community, the beautification and renovation of our own parish property, and the renewal and support of the community around us.
