What is the Coptic Orthodox Church’s role in mission?
  •  We believe that our local churches must be faithful to the content of unchanging Biblical doctrine (Jude 3).
  •  We believe that our local churches must be faithful to the continually changing context of the culture(s) in which they minister (1 Corinthians 9:19-23).
  •  We believe that our mission is to bring people into church so that they can be trained to go out into their culture as effective missionaries.
In Habakkuk 1:5, the Lord says, “Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your day, you would not believe if you were told.”
God is always working to extend the message of His salvation to the ends of the earth. Graciously, He has allowed our Church to participate with Him in this mission. This church has been a solid presence in overseas St Mina Children's Home mission and now it is expanding its reach into new areas  and providing new ways for our Church family to get involved.

Matthew 28:19-20 - "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
