Our parish, St. Sava Serbian
Orthodox Church in Phoenix, AZ, was incorporated in 1958 by a small number of Serbian Orthodox
families that wanted to preserve their Orthodox faith and pass it on to future
generations. The church hall was built in 1961 where Divine Liturgy was held as
well as fund raising functions that helped facilitate the building of the actual
church in 1974. The church hall was expanded in 1983 with an addition that was
used for Sunday school classes.
With the growth of our
parish came the need for more space. It was decided that a building just for
religious educational purposes should be built. Construction of this building
began in 1997 and was completed and consecrated in 2000. That building is our
beautiful Cultural Center of St. Sava that holds our Sunday school classrooms,
church offices, library and bookstore.
Over the years our parish
has expanded from a few pioneering families to a few hundred parishioners on a
weekly basis and over a few thousand Serbs and Orthodox faithful of other
nationalities during the holidays of Easter & Christmas.
Many of our parishioners
enjoy our social and religious offerings such as our Sunday School Program,
Bible Study, Choir, Circle of Serbian Sisters Group, Senior Citizens Group, and
our newly added Youth Folklore Group and Arizona Serbs Soccer Club.
We invite you to join our
Sunday Divine Liturgy, which is held at 10:00 a.m. every Sunday. Our Church is
open to everyone and everyone is welcome!
