Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church

Welcome to the website of Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) located in Mentor, Ohio. Our church has been serving Lake County, Geauga County, Ashtabula County, Cuyahoga County, and Summit County since the 70's. Our site has been designed to be used as a resource for both visitors and our own faithful members. The directory to the left may be used to learn about our parish; including history, schedule of liturgical services and church ministries. It also provides the ability to explore the teachings of the Orthodox Faith, directly contact our Pastor, and locate many other helpful resources. Of course the best way to learn about our parish and Orthodoxy is to experience it firsthand. So as the Apostle Phillip said to Nathanael when he inquired about the Lord Jesus, "Come and see!"

Uganda Update

May 14, 2012

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” – Thomas Edison

Dear Friends,

Christ is Risen!

Children grow! This year we have a record forty-five students enrolled in post-secondary education. Three of them have been with us since Primary 6 (sixth grade). It’s both exciting and inspiring to see these young people enter into the next and final phase of their schooling. Our goal is to provide them with the skills and credentials necessary to obtain quality, fair-paying jobs. Without skills you cannot be successful in your work; without credentials you cannot get hired. (Read full story here)

Their Mission Statement:

To provide for the education, health, and welfare of Ugandan children, teens, and young adults.
