St. Nicholas Episcopal Church
Share a story
If you are seeking a new spiritual home, you are welcome at St. Nicholas. We are a small yet vibrant Episcopal church rooted in the catholic tradition of worship that also has an open, democratic approach to governance. You will be greeted respectfully by people who understand your journey, and who will not pressure you in one direction or another as you seek to discern God’s will for you.
Welcome.
We’re glad you’re here, and we hope that you will feel emboldened to worship or attend a support meeting at St Nicholas. You can become part of a remarkable community simply by walking through the door. You, too, can “be St Nicholas,” and find spiritual meaning in living generously. To find out more about “the world’s favorite saint,” be sure to visit The St Nicholas Center: “Who Is St Nicholas?”.
St. Nicholas Church is many things to many people. We honor traditions handed down to us from the earliest of Christians, while we actively engage in the 21st century with a progressive faith that keeps step with current times. We are steeped in ancient liturgical practices, yet we do not shy away from expressing our beliefs in ways that are understandable and contemporary. We are dynamic and life-giving, yet, we are “static” as we maintain and practice, with full faith, the teachings of Christ, the apostles and the early disciples. We embrace our history, while we boldly move into the future, always professing Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
At St. Nicholas, our worship is as diverse as our community. We are Anglican in identity, though we graciously borrow from other faith traditions with regards to music and prayer.
The structure of our worship comes from the Book of Common Prayer, a staple in Anglican / Episcopal worship more than four hundred years.

St. Nick's Food Today
Currently, through the generous donations of various businesses and other area food pantries, St Nicholas is able to offer a drop-in food pantry during the evening hours twice a month – when those who work during the day are not able to take the time to visit one of the other area pantries.
We also occasionally gather donations through “bagging,” or dropping off grocery bags in one of the neighborhoods in Elk Grove Village. You may have seen one of our bags at your door or at the neighbors’ – we drop off the bags one week, and collect them from porches the next week. We DO respect “no solicitors” signs, however, if you’d rather not be bothered at home. And we do gladly accept donations dropped off around the time of the Saturday evening and Sunday morning services, as well as during food pantry hours.
