Saint Sebastian Serbian Orthodox Mission Parish

About this church

Saint Sebastian Serbian Orthodox Mission Parish celebrates Matins Sundays at 9:00 a.m. and Divine Liturgy at 10:00, followed by a fellowship meal, at 1819 North Carson Street in Carson City. Vespers is held Saturday evening, with the exact time published in the weekly schedule. Feast-day services are added through the year. The parish welcomes Orthodox Christians, visitors, and people exploring the tradition.

The community began in Reno in 2001 as Saint John the Baptist Mission, with roots in an Orthodox bookstore opened in 1991. After its rented Reno building became unavailable, the parish moved to its current Carson City facility in 2019. Parishioners represent several national backgrounds, and many are American converts to Orthodoxy. Inquirer classes are offered during the year and announced through the website and parish Facebook page. Newcomers can expect a liturgical sequence rather than a single stand-alone Sunday service: Matins leads into Divine Liturgy, then a shared meal. Anyone attending Vespers or a special feast should check the current homepage or subscribe to the newsletter because those days and times change with the Orthodox calendar.
