St. Nicholas Youth & Family Ministry is dedicated to building the Domestic Church...

Our staff has over 20 years of youth ministry experience and is passionate about leading the next generation of our church to build an epic relationship with God. Here's how we do it:

1. We attend church regularly. 

​

2. We pray together at home.

​

​

3. We meet people where they are at.

​

4. We are also fun to be around. 

                                                             It's much easier to attend church regularly once you form it as a habit. Our spiritual life would be much less full if we didn't prioritize time with our spiritual family.

                                                           We can't be worth much as a ministry team if we don't practice what we preach. Being an example for our kids at home helps them build their relationship with God from a young age.

                                                                             Whether you grew up in the Ukrainian Catholic Church or are new to exploring your relationship with God, we are excited to talk to you about faith and what it can do to put your life on track. 

                                                                 This may be a little biased, but we think we know how to have a good time.
