Welcome to the Coptic Orthodox Church
Welcome to the Coptic Orthodox Church
The Coptic Orthodox Church emerged from the evangelism of St. Mark (writer of the second Gospel) in Alexandria, Egypt in 44 AD. The Orthodox (Nicene) Creed declares the tenets of the Coptic Orthodox faith. The Coptic Orthodox Church is one of the group termed Oriental, or Non-Chalcedonian, Orthodox churches.
The Coptic Church believes in the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and emphasizes the oneness of the nature and person of Christ Incarnate, where His divinity and humanity are fully present and united without mingling, without confusion, and without alteration. Please see the "Coptic Orthodoxy" tab to learn more!
