This church is the Christian faith of the ancient Egyptians dating back to 42 A.D. when St. Mark came to Alexandria and turned the Egyptians from their pagan pharaonic faith to the true Apostolic teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. This church which sits in the heart of Round Rock, a neighborhood near Austin, is a true gem and blessing for the city.
Its a small and quaint gathering but parishioners receive newcomers with open arms just like their father and leader, Fr. Benjamin Abouelkheir.
To experience a Coptic Orthodox Christian liturgy is to truly find yourself praying amidst the angels, with its beautiful hymns many of which were taken from ancient pharaonic chants and Christianized to proclaim the Salvation of Christ among the roof tops. If you’re looking for rich depth of prayer and relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, come in and experience the historical and faithful services our beautiful Coptic church has to offer. See you on Sunday…
