St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church

About this church

St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Fort Pierce begins Sunday Orthros, or Matins, at 9:00 a.m., followed by Divine Liturgy at 10:00 and Sunday School at 11:00. Worship generally ends by about 11:30, and coffee hour follows. Parking is available on the church property. Dress reflects South Florida's casual culture but should be respectful; the visitor guide recommends business casual and notes that people may sit whenever standing is physically difficult.

Orthodox worship includes frequent standing, making the sign of the cross, bows, icons, incense, and sung prayer. Guests are not expected to imitate every practice. Holy Communion is reserved for baptized or chrismated Orthodox Christians in good standing, but everyone may receive the blessed bread offered at the end. The parish's mission is to proclaim the gospel and embody Orthodox faith and Sacred Tradition through worship, teaching, and community life. Philoptochos supports people in need locally and beyond, while AHEPA promotes education, philanthropy, civic responsibility, and Hellenic culture. Coffee hour provides an easy place to ask questions after a first Liturgy.
