St. Shenouda & St. Karas Coptic Orthodox Church is a house of prayer for all people, deeply rooted in the ancient Coptic Orthodox tradition. We follow the teachings of Jesus Christ as passed down through the Apostolic Church, striving to worship God, grow spiritually, and serve our community with love and faith. Our mission is to live and share the treasure of the Orthodox Christian faith within the community where we reside.
As one of the world’s most ancient churches, the Coptic Orthodox Church was founded in the first century by St. Mark the Evangelist, the author of the Gospel that bears his name. Through generations, it has preserved its Apostolic doctrines and patterns of worship, remaining steadfast in its faith and traditions. The Church is rich in evangelistic and ascetic life, deeply rooted in a heavenly yet practical spirituality. Through its sacred rituals, profound hymns, beautiful icons, and Holy Sacraments, the Coptic Orthodox Church nurtures the soul, drawing hearts toward heaven while embracing the realities of daily life.
