About Our Church

An Ancient Christian Church – One of the most ancient churches in the world, the Coptic Church was founded by Saint Mark the Apostle, the writer of the second Gospel, in the first century. The word ‘Coptic’ simply means ‘Egyptian.’ As a conservative church, the Coptic Church has carefully preserved the Orthodox Christian faith in its earliest and purest form, handing it down from generation to generation unaltered and true to the apostolic doctrines and patterns of worship.
