St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church of Delaware

About this church

St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church of Delaware is a congregation of the Coptic Orthodox Church, an ancient church that traces its founding to Saint Mark the Apostle in first-century Egypt. The Sunday liturgy runs from about 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and is followed by Sunday School. A second liturgy is held on Wednesday mornings from 7 to 9 a.m., and further liturgies are held on Coptic Orthodox feasts and other occasions. A livestream page and a calendar are available on the website.

The congregation was incorporated by seven immigrant families in 1979, who first rented a small room from a Lutheran church in Wilmington, and it now has its own building and a large membership. The website describes gatherings for worship, education, and fellowship, with hymn classes and several Bible study meetings for all ages. Past events listed include a church picnic after the feast of the Resurrection, a couples meeting, and a graduation ceremony for all grades and pre-servants. An annual Egyptian Festival with a food menu is a public event, and visitors can sign up for festival updates on the website. Membership sign-up and online giving are also offered. Confirm the location and current schedule with the church before visiting.
