Our Diocese

The Right Reverend J. Neil Alexander: The word “episcopal” means “a church with oversight by a bishop.” Our bishop is the Right Reverend J. Neil Alexander, the 9th bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta. Bishop Alexander makes regular visits to St. Nicholas to provide pastoral care, inspiration, and connection to the larger church. For more about Bishop Alexander.
The Right Reverend Keith Whitmore: The job of a bishop is difficult, overseeing so many congregations. The Diocese of Atlanta is blessed to have the Rt. Rev. Keith Whitmore serve as the Assistant Bishop to Bishop Alexander. Bishop Whitmore makes regular visits to St. Nicholas as well, supporting both our ministry and Bishop Alexander’s.
