What kinds of diversity are present at St. Nicholas Church?
A. St. Nicholas is becoming increasingly diverse in obvious as well as not-so-obvious ways: In race/ethnicity, while we are predominantly White/Anglo, our percentages of other ethnicities are increasing. Similarly, in age we are about one-third median-age adults and one-third of our members are pre-teen children, the remaining third being divided between teens and young adults on the one hand, and pre-retirement and senior adults on the other. But more important is the spirit of St. Nicholas, which celebrates diversity as a sign of the Holy Spirit at work in our midst. This is why we have been able to welcome so many non-Episcopalians, un-churched, and de-churched people (less than a third of our congregation were raised in the Episcopal Church), and why we have become home to a community that is diverse in so many ways: economically, politically, even theologically.
