About St. Elias Orthodox Church
St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Church in New Castle, Pennsylvania has served its community since 1913, beginning with Syrian immigrants and growing into a vibrant, multi-ethnic parish centered on worship and service. The church building, located on Lynn Street on the east side of New Castle, provides space for a community known for their commitment to liturgical worship, educational classes for both children and adults, and practical charity work with local organizations like the City Rescue Mission and domestic abuse shelter. Food and hospitality are woven into parish life through regular bread-baking on Tuesdays, traditional Syrian food preparation, and an annual Middle-Eastern food festival that welcomes the broader community. Under the leadership of Fr. Kevin Gregory Long since 2010, St. Elias emphasizes theological learning, scriptural study, and neighborly love as central to its Orthodox Christian witness. The parish maintains a strong desire to serve both spiritual and practical needs, reflecting the Orthodox calling to make disciples and care for those in need.
