The Coptic Orthodox Church

The Coptic Orthodox Church is one of the most ancient Christian communities in the world, founded by St. Mark the Evangelist in Alexandria, Egypt, in the first century. Preserved through martyrdom, monasticism, and steadfast faith, the Coptic Church remains a living witness to the unchanging Gospel of Jesus Christ.
