Flushing is a historic port on the West side of the Isle of Walcheren in the Province of Zeeland (The Netherlands). Nowadays, usually many ships can be seen on its anchorage, just East of Flushing Town, where there are also important ship repair and construction docks. It is there that the Chapel of St. Nicholas' stands, as part of the Mission to Seafarers Flying Angel Club. St. Nicholas' (after the patron saint of sailors) draws a small, faithful and warm congregation from all over the island - it seeks to serve seafarers and English speaking people.

The Mission is a member of the Council of Churches. The Chaplain is rev Jan van Handenhoven, he is also priest of the Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands, which is in full communion with the Anglican church and provides pastoral and sacramental care.
