Ministries
As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
By the grace of God, St. Philopater & St. Demiana Coptic Orthodox Church has established several ministries intended to serve the needs of our church. We hope that each member finds a place suitable for them to participate and serve in our community.
St. Cyril Sunday School
We provide lessons and activities encourage continual growth and learning to occur, not only at the time we meet, but also in all the moments in between. The intent of the service is to grow, one by one, to serve our children throughout all ages.
Classes are held weekly on Saturdays following the Divine Liturgy
St. Photini Women’s Meeting
The women’s ministry seeks to invite, embrace, and involve Coptic Orthodox Christian Women in the life of the Church through actions of faith, fellowship, and service. We promote the Orthodox Christian faith in accordance with its canons, teachings and divine worship.
Meetings are held bi-weekly on Tuesdays at 7:15
The Good Samaritan Service
Our mission is to help the helpless; to serve those in need, whatever their circumstances; to actively participate in the salvific mission of the Church in the world through caring for those in need: the hungry, the poor, the homeless, the sick, the disabled, the elderly, the orphans, the persecuted, and those in captivity.
To donate or help in this service, please reach out to Hany Gerges
St. Basil Adults Class
Join us each week as we expound and unveil the mysteries of the Church and the high calling of Christian Perfection. Together, we will explore the contours of a Spirit filled life as experienced and articulated by the Church Fathers.
Classes are held weekly on Wednesdays at 8:00 PM
St. Moses Young Men’s Ministry
The young men’s ministry aims to provide a platform for spiritual formation through various events such as spiritual retreats, service projects, & community service as well as foster strong fellowship through a variety of activities (organized sports, group outings, etc.).
Activities and hangouts are held bi-weekly.
The Lighthouse (Newcomers) Service
The Lighthouse service exists to support those in the community looking for authentic spirituality and truth in the Orthodox church. It offers a class designed for teach new believers the faith and support their growth on their spiritual journey.
