About St Sava Serbian Orthodox Church
St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church, established in 1901, is the oldest Serbian Orthodox Church in the Eastern United States and the third oldest in America. Located in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, just minutes from Pittsburgh, this vibrant parish welcomes all seekers of spiritual growth and community in Jesus Christ. The church serves a diverse congregation from throughout the greater Pittsburgh area and beyond, offering a haven of peace rooted in ancient Orthodox Christian tradition. With services conducted primarily in English alongside Church Slavonic and Serbian, St. Sava provides an accessible entry point for first-time visitors exploring the beauty and timeless faith of Orthodox Christianity. The parish emphasizes that all are invited, welcomed, accepted, and loved regardless of background, family situation, or religious history.

Dress Code: Women should wear modest clothing with skirts or dresses at or below the knee and covered shoulders; men should wear slacks and a dress or collared casual shirt, removing any head coverings upon entering. Service Format: The Divine Liturgy lasts approximately 1.5 hours on Sunday mornings (10:00 AM September–May, 9:30 AM June–August), with the congregation standing for much of the service; visitors are welcome but only baptized and chrismated Orthodox Christians may receive Holy Communion, though blessed bread (Antidoron) is offered to all. Visitor Tips: Arrive before the service begins, maintain silence in the church, stand during the Gospel reading and key liturgical moments, and plan to attend Coffee Hour after worship to meet the parish community and Father Stevan Rocknage.
