COMMUNITIES
St Nic’s Communities exist to help us love God, love one another and love the world.
They usually meet weekly to eat together, pray together, read the Bible together, serve Jesus together and welcome new people. Whether you’re new to church or have been with us a while, we hope you can find one that helps you feel at home at St Nic’s.
Our communities meet all over Nottingham so we hope you can find one local to you!
