Our Parish History

Welcome to Saint Nicholas!

The Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church of Corpus Christi was founded in 1950 by Greek Orthodox immigrants. It all started in 1936 when a group of immigrants wanted to raise their children in the Orthodox faith and tradition and sought to raise funds to build a church. A group of ladies started a non-profit club called "Delphi" and they sold baked goods, held Bible studies, and raised money to start a church in Corpus Christi. The prayers of the faithful were answered in 1950 as we witnessed our first priest to open the doors: Father Emmanuel Panos. Saint Nicholas was later consecrated in 1971 by His Grace Bishop John of Thermon with Father Ambrose Giannoukos presiding.

Currently, Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church is a vibrant and growing parish filled with many families, both young and old, those that were raised in the Orthodox faith, and those who are finding their home in the Ancient Church. We have members who have a variety of language backgrounds such as: Greek, English, Spanish, Romanian, Russian, and Arabic. What unites us all is our love for our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ and His Church and our love for our Orthodox faith!

We welcome all visitors to check out our Parish and worship with us!    

We are part of the Metropolis Of Denver, a metropolis of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, which is an eparchy of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
