Our Faith

The Holy Trinity

The Coptic Orthodox Church believes that the Holy Trinity: God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit, are equal to each other in one unity, and that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only Savior of the world. He is God Himself, the Incarnate Logos, Who took to Himself a perfect manhood. His Divine nature is one with his human nature yet without mingling, confusion or alteration.

The Seven Sacraments

The church also believes in seven holy sacraments:

Baptism
Holy Chrism
Confession
Communion
Anointing of the Sick
Marriage
Priesthood

Veneration of Saints

The Coptic Church honors the saints, and asks for their intercession in prayer. Every Coptic Orthodox Church is named after one or more saints. The stories of the saints are taught in the church as wonderful models of the faith.
