St. Paul American Coptic Orthodox Church

The mission of St. Paul American Orthodox Church is "to be an open multi-cultured community where people of all ethnic backgrounds who join our Church can feel welcome and at home." The mission of St Paul Church is rooted in the Living Tradition of our Holy Orthodox Church. The Holy Orthodox Church is the Body of Christ and all Her members are a new creation in Christ, as St Paul wrote to the Colossians "and have put on the new man who is renewed in Knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all" (Col. 3:10-11). The Holy Orthodox Church is the Household of God and all Her members are equal fellow citizens as St. Paul wrote to the Ephesians, "Now,therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the Household of God" (Eph. 2:19).
