He studied at the Lviv Dormition Brotherhood School and entered a monastery as a youth. Eventually he became the hegumen of the Kyiv Epiphany Brotherhood Monastery and the Mezhyhiria Transfiguration Monastery and one of the founders of the Kyiv Epiphany Brotherhood School.
On October 6, 1620,[1][2] when the Orthodox hierarchy was renewed by PatriarchTheophanes III of Jerusalem, Isaiah was consecrated bishop of Peremyshl and Sambir; however, he was not permitted to assume his post by the Polish king, and he was instead named bishop of Chernihiv and Smolensk. Isaiah also became the first bishop consecrated by Patriarch Theophanes III, three days ahead of Job Boretsky in Epiphany Church of the Kyiv Brotherhood Monastery that used to be located in the Kyiv's Podil neighborhood. Isaiah was well known as an organizer of monasteries; through his efforts the Mgarsky Monastery, the Hustynia Trinity Monastery, and other monasteries were founded. In 1631 he succeeded Metropolitan Yov Boretsky as Kyivan metropolitan.
Isaiah was a conservative and a decided foe of Catholicism and the Uniate church. He was also pro-Muscovite and favoured conciliation with the tsar and the Moscow metropolitan. After the legalization of the Orthodox hierarchy by Poland in 1632 and the election of Petro Mohyla as metropolitan of Kyiv, Isaiah was forced by the latter to relinquish his post. He became the supervisor of the Kyiv St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery in 1633, and lobbied unsuccessfully to regain his title from Mohyla, supported by many monasteries and Cossacks.
In 1635 he moved to Polisia, and in 1638 back to Kyiv, where he probably died[citation needed].
