Coptic Orthodox Church in North America

While the Coptic Orthodox form a larger number in the US, the first Coptic Orthodox parish in North America was actually founded in Canada. In 1964, St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church in Toronto, Canada was established. However, not too long afterwards, the first parish in the States, St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church (Jersey City) was founded in the late 1960s and it is considered the first Coptic Orthodox Church, parish, and church building in North America, if not, the Western Hemisphere.

Decades later, Mexico had a growing Coptic Orthodox community of its own. The first, and only, Coptic Orthodox church in Mexico is St. Mary and St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church in Tlaycapan, Mexico, founded in 2001.

Of the Coptic Orthodox parishes in the United States, there are currently over 200 churches that serve the expanding Coptic Orthodox population there. Florida is home to many Coptic Orthodox Christians, and there are currently 21 established churches throughout the state, in order to serve the large and growing Egyptian-Christian population arising all over the state. There are many churches in North America as well as several other churches and communities in Canada.
