St Nicholas Parish, tended by
The Very Reverend Father John Atchison, is in
the Southeast Diocese of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of
North America. We are the jurisdiction of the Orthodox Christian
Church whose roots trace directly back to first century Antioch,
the city in which the disciples of Jesus Christ were first called
“Christians” (Acts 11:26). The Orthodox Church
is the oldest and second largest Christian group in the world.
We are called by God our creator to worship and follow Him, and
to proclaim to the world His message of love, peace, and salvation.
God loves all mankind and desires that all human
beings should believe in Him, know Him, abide in Him, and receive
eternal life from Him. To accomplish this, God Himself came into
the world as a man, Jesus Christ, becoming man that we might become
like God. For a fuller statement of the fundamental beliefs of
the Orthodox Church read our statement of faith the Nicene Creed which
our patron saint, St Nicholas, helped write in A.D. 325.
St Nicholas was the Bishop of Myra in Lycia,
modern-day Turkey. He
is known for many miracles and for his love and compassion for children
and the poor. He was present at the First Ecumenical
Council in Nicaea and was a staunch opponent of
Arianism.
Life of the real Saint Nick.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
We, members of the Holy Orthodox Catholic and
Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ, in the city of Springdale State
of Arkansas, desiring the propagation of our faith and its teachings
for ourselves and our posterity, do unite together as a Parish
and Church for the receiving of the Holy Sacraments, for the
observance of the faith, morals and discipline of our Holy Church
as administered under the authority and jurisdiction of the Antiochian
Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America.
Call or
write to the Priest John or Deacon Vladimir.
We would be delighted to answer any questions you might have about
Orthodoxy, the Orthodox Christian Faith, and the Holy Orthodox
Church. Please Come and See for your self! As always, our
doors and hearts are open to all.
