John NICHOLAS Jr.

I think of you regularly and enjoy all the teaching from the Bible that I still embrace today. You were a great teacher of the word and I will be forever grateful of your preaching and the evening Kathleen excepted Christ as her savior during a Sunday night service. So many of us that Anne called the little flock still recall some of your old sayings, like the one about marriage "If you want your pockets to jingle stay single" that one always gets a laugh. Will see you again in heaven.

The Twelve Most Memorable Moments With My Dad:
1) My dad leading me to the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ at age 7.
2) Trips to the roof of our small house to eat popsicles.
3) Dad would get in our small pool with us at home.
4) Giving me big hugs and kisses and letting me sit on his knee.
5) Taking me to my brothers ballgames and letting me indulge in sweets at the concession stand.
6) Cheering me on as I competed in a tennis match in middle...

Having been his daughter-in-law for nearly 18 years "POP" became my "Go To Guy" for searching and understanding GOD's word.
Pop has us all watching the heavens for Our Lord Jesus Christ's return.He was so hopeful that he was going to be caught up in the clouds of the Rapture.
I believe he was watching for the Lord's return right up until his last breath. He had such a wonderful sense of humor. I am so happy that he was in my life. It comforts me to know that he is with the Lord...

Preacher Jack was a man of God that had "pure energy". He was genuinely excited and energetic when talking about God and serving him. His energy will be missed greatly. I knew and loved him since I was a child. He was my first preacher, he baptized me and he was the same man that married me to my wife of 16 years. I was able to sit with him before he passed and we were able to talk about many things. Now I regret not spending more time with him while he was here, for not making the time....

My prayers and thoughts go out to the family. Anthony Gabany

In 1976 I was still in the Army when my wife and I met Pastor John Nicholas. We joined his Church and stayed under his ministry for the last 34 years. He was a man of integrity, he walked what he talked. He was a good preacher but even more he was a good teacher. He could take the Bible and explain it in a way that you could relate it to your daily life and use it in your daily walk. One of his joys was to ride the tractor cutting the grass at the church with his straw hat on. I will...

As a young couple, my husband and I searched diligently for the right Church in which to raise our children. I am happy to say that the Lord ended our search when the Pastor welcomed us into his Church. It is with much regret that the Lord has called him home, but after having dedicated his life's work to serving the Lord- knowing that one day they would meet- his prayers have been answered.
We love you Pastor and look forward to seeing you again in heaven.
