St. Demetrius Serbian Orthodox Church

About this church

St. Demetrius Serbian Orthodox Church in Des Moines, Iowa, describes itself as the only Serbian Orthodox church in Iowa. It offers traditional Serbian liturgical services, customs, and fellowship, with Sunday Divine Liturgy beginning at 9 a.m. The website states that all liturgical services start at 9 a.m. and publishes a schedule of services in both Serbian and English.

The parish priest also serves a community in Sioux Falls, so on the first Sunday of the month the priest is normally there, and on the remaining Sundays services are held in Des Moines unless the schedule says otherwise. Visitors should check the posted schedule or call before attending, especially around feast days. Announcements about changes are shared through a Viber group for the parish. The church is located at 4655 NE 3rd Street, and the site also links to a Facebook page and an email sign-up. The website includes a short history page and a page for announcements, and the schedule is written in Cyrillic with an English translation below it. Anyone interested in learning about Serbian Orthodox worship is invited to attend, and questions can be sent by phone or email. Confirm the date of the next service on the website before visiting.
