History
| Before St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church of Wyckoff, NJ officially became a church, its beginnings can be traced to a small group of families who were members of St. Athanasios Church of Paterson, NJ. Their vision was to establish a Greek Orthodox Community for the faithful residing in the local neighborhood of Northwest Bergen and Northeast Passaic counties. Following many meetings of setting goals and objectives, a corporation was formed in November 1969 - The Bergen Greek Orthodox Community, Inc. Its key objective was to buy land to build a church and community center. Read more about the history. |

Lenten Message
In the Book of Exodus, the well known story of Israel's departure from the land of Egypt is recorded. In this story God told the Israelites to depart from their usual way of life and to begin a journey out into the desert. If you recall, the Israelites had been held in harsh slavery in Egypt for many years and were finally set free. Moses led them through the Red Sea and into the wilderness as they journeyed to reach the promised land. But after only a few days in the wilderness the people really began to complain. They were tired, hungry, and thirsty. Some of them even wished that they were dead! Egypt and slavery didn't seem so bad now that they were out in the middle of the desert. This journey toward the promised land wasn't as easy as they thought it would be.
