==History==
The origins of Christ the Saviour Seminary are found in the vision of the first [[bishop]] of the [[diocese]], Orestes (Chornock), in 1940. The seminary, at first, not having a permanent home, moved and held classes in a number of northeastern United States cities, including New York City, ; Nicholson, Pennsylvania, ; and Bridgeport, Connecticut. In 1951, the diocese acquired property in Johnstown, Pennsylvania , that became the home of the seminary. Johnstown is also the seat of the diocese. The property is a landmark in the west end of the city, the historic Strayer Mansion. The building has been developed to include class and lecture rooms and dining and recreation facilities, as well as a library and bookstore.
==Academics==
The seminary has tailored curricula for five classification of candidates:
* A three -year Bachelor of Theology program for students who already have a baccalaureate degreedegrees.
* A cooperative program with the University of Pittsburgh for students without a baccalaureate degree.
* A Licentiate of Theology diploma late vocations program for those without a previous undergraduate degree.
* A special admissions program for individuals who do not intend to be [[ordination|ordained ]] to the Orthodox [[clergy]].
* A less intense Diaconate program of studies for those men who wish only to serve as [[deacon]]s.
