Christ the Saviour Seminary, Orthodox Christian seminary in Morrellville, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, United States.
Christ the Saviour Seminary is housed in the Strayer Mansion and offers a three-year theology program with a chapel, classrooms, and student housing. The extensive library holds approximately 5000 theological texts that support the academic work and serve the educational mission.
Metropolitan Orestes P. Chornock founded this institution in 1940 as a training ground for Orthodox clergy. After relocating several times, the seminary became permanently established in Johnstown, Pennsylvania in 1951.
The seminary preserves the traditions of Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Christianity through its educational programs and liturgical practices within the American context.
The facility functions primarily as a study center, so access for visitors may be limited to specific times and occasions. Contacting ahead is recommended to learn when visits are possible.
The seminary operates a bookstore that supplies liturgical items and religious texts to both students and the general public. This makes it an important resource for the wider Orthodox community.
