Welcome to St. Philopater and St. Demiana
Coptic Orthodox Church

Saint Philopater and Saint Demiana Coptic Orthodox Church (SPSD) is a Coptic Orthodox Christian community in Lynnwood, Washington, established in July 2019 with a mission of expressing the Coptic Orthodox Faith in English.

The Coptic Orthodox church is an ancient apostolic church established by St Mark, author of the gospel of Mark, in Egypt during the first century AD. Copts have had a solid historical role in the Christian church, with contributions to the central Christian dogmas of the Trinity, Christology, monasticism, and other parts of early Christian life.

Today, there are over 10 million Coptic Christians in Egypt, comprising the largest Christian group in the middle east. There is also a sizable community of Coptic churches all over the world, with hundreds of churches across North America, South America, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia.
