Copts in the United States

Copts in the United States are members of the Coptic Orthodox Church, an ancient Christian community originating from Egypt. They migrated to the U.S. seeking religious freedom, better economic opportunities, and stability. As a minority faith, they maintain their religious traditions, language (Coptic and Arabic), and cultural practices while integrating into American society. The community often organizes churches, cultural events, and social services to preserve their heritage and support members. Copts in the U.S. contribute to religious diversity, advocating for religious freedom and interfaith understanding while navigating cultural identity within the broader American context.
