Family Night allows all of our faithful to gather once a month as a family to enjoy fellowship, group activities and breakout sessions.

Website Development
The St. Nicholas website ministry is responsible for updating and maintaining the church website.
Hospital Visitations
Due to privacy laws, hospitals do not divulge information lists for Pastoral visitations as has been done in the past. Because we strongly believe in the importance of Pastoral visitations in hospitals, we need your help.
Metropolis Ministries
