The Coptic Orthodox Faith

The Coptic Orthodox Faith

When our Lord Jesus Christ came to earth, He founded a living community to be His Body of which He is the Head. This community, called the Church, began on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem, and soon spread throughout the Roman Empire, centering in the ancient cities of Jerusalem, Rome, Antioch, Alexandria, and Constantinople. The Coptic Orthodox Church is the Church of Alexandria, Egypt.
