The St. Sergius Chapel in Chuathbaluk, Alaska, United States, in the Bethel Census Area, is a historic Russian Orthodox church. On the Kuskokwim River, it has been known as the Little Russian Mission to contrast it from the Russian Mission, on the Yukon River (roughly parallel to the Kuskokwim, to the north). Traditionally, the church is believed to have been built in 1891 by Father Ivan Orlov. The wood-frame structure has three major elements. At the western end is a gable-roof vestibule section with a small onion dome on top, and there is a similarly-sized matching section at the eastern end. The central section is a larger, roughly square structure, topped by a hip roof with a larger onion dome.[2][3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
