Welcome to Our Parish!
Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory forever!
St. Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Church is a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. Our Primate is His Eminence Metropolitan SABA, Archbishop of New York & Metropolitan of all North America and our Diocesan Bishop is His Grace Bishop THOMAS, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Charleston/Oakland. Our pastor is The Very Reverend Father Samuel Haddad.
While our parish has experienced significant growth during the decades since its founding, there is one aspect of our community that has not changed: and that is our commitment to God, the up-building of His Church, and the great treasure that has been entrusted to us -- the Orthodox Christian Faith. This is reflected in the Vision Statement of our parish:
"The vision of Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church is to be a beacon of Christ's Light, to seek and to do the will of God, inspiring Orthodox Christian Faith and spirituality, and the awareness of personal salvation, making this all possible through love, worship, education and outreach."
Please come join us as we work toward this vision in the joy of the Risen Christ!

A generous supporter of Orthodoxy and St. Nicholas Orthodox Church recently contributed new pews for the Church nave. Beginning on January 21, 2025, the old pews were removed and the new pews were installed. The new pews at St. Nicholas Orthodox Church were crafted by a venerable manufacturer of high-quality Church furnishings named Ratigan-Schottler, based in Beatrice, Nebraska. They have been manufacturing pews for churches in all parts of our country since 1940. We rejoice and give thanks to God for the beauty of this improvement to our nave, for the generosity of the contributor and the expertise of the manufacturer and installer of the pews.
Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church is located at 211 South Heber Street in downtown Beckley, West Virginia. Call (304) 252-5821 for more information.
