The Orthodox family of churches has played an enduring role in American faith. Eastern Orthodox churches share an unbroken liturgical tradition dating to the early church, with patriarchates such as Greek, Russian, Antiochian, and Serbian represented in the U.S. The tradition traces its modern form to the 1st century. Today the tradition counts approximately 1 million in the U.S.

It belongs to a wider community of churches across the Northeast, where some of America's oldest congregations still gather. New Kensington sits within Pennsylvania, whose state capital is Harrisburg. New attenders, longtime members, and curious visitors all gather here on Sundays.
