The Church soldiers (Serbian: црквени војници, romanized: crkveni vojnici) were members of the military class in the Medieval Serbian state that served the Orthodox monasteries. There were vlasteličići (lesser nobility) and pronijari (pronoia-holders) that were bound to protect the monastery complex, towers, or fortifications, or other property within the monastery holdings (vlastelinstvo).
