Our Path
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. (Psalm 23)
We Believe
The Coptic Orthodox Church believes that the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, are equal to each other in one unity.
The church holds that the Lord Jesus Christ is the one true Savior of the world. It adheres to the Nicene Creed, and St. Athanasius (296-373 A.D.) defended the doctrine of Christ's Divinity at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. The church believes in the one united nature of the Divinity and Humanity of Jesus Christ, affirming the Miaphysite belief.
Our Community
The Coptic Orthodox Church comprises diverse communities, including the Egyptian Coptic community, which preserves ancient traditions in Egypt, and diaspora communities in countries like the U.S. and Australia, who maintain ties to their Egyptian roots. Additionally, there are monastic communities devoted to prayer and asceticism, Coptic youth and student groups supporting young people in various countries, and strong connections with other Oriental Orthodox Churches through ecumenical dialogue. Despite their differences, all these communities are united by shared faith, beliefs, and worship practices.
