Welcome to St. Seraphim of Sarov Orthodox Church. We are an American mission parish of the Russian Orthodox Church. In our parish you will find Orthodox Christians from many different backgrounds. Of course there are Russians and Americans, however you will also find Serbs, Bulgarians, Romanians and others. Because we are a mission parish, our services are mostly in English, however, there is also some Slavonic as a remembrance of our ties to the Russian Church. We are under the Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, headed by Metropolitan HILARION of New York and Eastern America. We are in the diocese of Western America under the pastoral rule of Archbishop KYRILL of San Francisco and Western America. We welcome your visit both here on our webpage and in person at our parish.

Because of the restrictions on gatherings due to the pandemic we could not hold the Russian Food Festival in May.  We hope to hold a full festival in the fall if it is possible then to have the traditional dining experience that we have provided in the past.  Watch this page for updates.

Masks are not required, however those who wish to wear them are encouraged to do so. Vaccinations are a personal choice and have no impact on attendance at St. Seraphim Church.
