St. Nicholas Men's Ministry

Men's Ministry Mission:  The mission of the men’s ministry is to provide men of the parish an organization for spiritual development, education in the Orthodox faith, frateral fellowship, personal development, and mentoring.  

Fraternal Relationships: The experience of men creates a natural inclination for association. Through baptism and chrismation, men become true brothers in Christ. A ministry for men offers this peer group with an important additional outlet to realize life’s greatest vocation—growing in the image and likeness of God—in an environment of goodwill, mutual accountability, and support.

Activities: This group will work with and support the parish’s celebrations, special events, festival, and fund-raising activities in support of those worthy goals.  The ministry may also may hold small group meetings, study groups and seminars, work groups, retreats, service opportunities, and sporting activities to promote fellowship and a harmonious parish.

Membership: All men (married or single) who are members of St. Nicholas or attend services are welcome to join this group or attend meetings to learn more about our faith.
