Our history

Saint Nina Mission began as a part of st Stephen Orthodox church in Longwood. At the beginning father Arkady, priest of Annonciation Mission in Jacksonville came down once per months to serve Liturgy for russian speaking parishioners of st Stephen

In 2018 father Arkady and the parishioners of future st. Nina mission invited to be the priest here fr. Andrii from Canada. Fr. Andrii with his family arrived to Florida in April 2018. First we had our liturgies twice a months after first Liturgy in st Stephen Church. Next year we began to serve each sunday. And in March 2022 we rented the facility in Azalea Park and moved there.
