Mission

The St. Sava College has as its main mission and goal to provide religious education and to train candidates who are from the United States and Canada and from other countries for the Holy Priesthood
in the Serbian Orthodox Church specifically, and for interested individuals of
other ethnic jurisdictions of the Orthodox Christian Faith. The school functions as the educational center for individuals committed to serving the Serbian Orthodox Church and her people in a multi-lingual environment. Initially, the school provides quality baccalaureate level study in Theology leading to the Bachelor of Divinity Degree as approved and as uniquely required
for the Serbian Orthodox Church both for resident full-time students and
part-time students.
The eventual goal is to develop a program of study on the graduate level for
those who wish to pursue advanced studies both here in other Orthodox graduate institutions. The philosophy that is represented by the School is to prepare candidates in the spirit of the ancient Orthodox Christian faith, Her theology, Her Traditions, customs, rites and rituals, ecclesiology, and commitment
to the fulfillment of the commission entrusted to Her by Christ and handed
down by the Holy Apostles and their successors - the salvation of souls and
eternal life for all mankind.
