Our mission at Saint Nicholas is the same as the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America which states that "the youth be grouped by academic grade levels to lead our children in to experiencing the Holy Orthodox Faith. By developing a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and becoming active sacramental members of the living church, our young people will be equipped with tools necessary to assist them in their journey toward salvation."

Since our parish is still growing, the standard HOPE, JOY, GOYA, and YAL levels are premature. This is why we have grouped our youth in a different way. We have the girls and boys meet the first month, the second month only the girls meet, and on the third month the boys and acolytes meet.

We now have YOUTH SUNDAY. It is on the 3rd Sunday of every month. The youth of our community sit in the front pews as usual but will sing with the choir starting at 10:00 a.m. sharp and ending at 10:15 a.m. The older children (middle and high school ages) will assist the parish council members by collecting the offerings tray. These older children will also stay in church for the whole service to listen to the sermon. Therefore, they will not be attending their regularly scheduled Sunday school lessons.
