A parish of the Antiochian Archdiocese
Welcome to St. Nicholas Orthodox Church,
Springdale, AR. We serve the greater Northwest Arkansas region including
Springdale, Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville and the surrounding areas.
St. Nicholas Church is pastored by
Fr. John Atchison. He has just celebrated eleven years of ordination in the
Eastern Orthodox Christian Church. St. Nicholas Church is in the Southeast Diocese of the
Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of North America. We are the jurisdiction of the Orthodox
Christian Church whose roots trace directly back to first century Antioch, the city in
which the disciples of Jesus Christ were first called “Christians” (Acts
11:26). The Orthodox Church is the oldest and second largest Christian group in
the world. We are called by God our creator to worship and follow Him, and to proclaim to
the world His message of love, peace, and salvation.
God loves all mankind and desires that all
human beings should believe in Him, know Him, abide in Him, and receive eternal life from
Him. To accomplish this, God Himself came into the world as a man, Jesus Christ, becoming
man that we might become like God. For a fuller statement of the fundamental beliefs of
the Orthodox Church, read our statement of faith which St. Nicholas helped write:
The Nicene Creed.
St. Nicholas was the Bishop of Myra in Lycia.
He is known for many miracles and for his love and compassion for the poor and for
children. He was also present at the First Ecumenical Council in Nicaea and was a staunch
opponent of Arianism. Life of the real Saint Nick.
