About us

Who we are and what brings us together.

Our story

A mission, not a monument

The Coptic Orthodox Church began in Egypt in the first century, with the preaching of the Apostle Mark. Our parish in Madagascar is new and small, and it is growing. We meet, we pray, we teach the children, and we try to be useful to our neighbours.

Where we meet

A small church, a warm welcome

What we believe

An ancient faith, explained simply

You do not need to know anything to begin. Here is what shapes our life together.

Our Faith

We follow Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and believe in the Holy Trinity — one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Our Worship

The Divine Liturgy is how we pray together — ancient words and songs, carried down through the centuries.

Our Sacraments

Sacraments are sacred actions where Christ meets us: baptism, chrismation, and the Eucharist — blessed bread and wine.

Our Tradition

We honour the saints and the Church Fathers, and we fast through the year as a way of making room for God.

Come and see for yourself

The best way to know us is to visit. Everyone is welcome, every week.
