The Coptic Orthodox Church

The Coptic Orthodox Church is an ancient Christian community based primarily in Egypt, with branches worldwide. It traces its roots to the early Christian era and follows the doctrines and traditions established by the first-century apostles. Led by the Pope of Alexandria, this church emphasizes liturgical worship, sacraments, and a rich heritage of theology, art, and monasticism. It holds to the belief in Jesus Christ’s dual nature as fully God and fully man. The Coptic Church maintains unique liturgical practices and a strong sense of identity, playing a vital role in both spiritual life and cultural history within Egypt and among its global followers.
