St. George Coptic Orthodox Church

About this church

St. George Coptic Orthodox Church in Tampa worships at 2135 W Busch Blvd and belongs to the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States. The main service is the Sunday Divine Liturgy, listed from 8:00 to 11:00 AM, and non-Coptic first-time visitors are told they can arrive at 9:00 AM. Liturgies are also listed on Saturday morning, Wednesday morning (in Arabic) and early Thursday morning, with Saturday vespers and midnight praises starting at 6:00 PM. A worship guide pamphlet is available at the church entrance and in the seats, and visitors are asked to sit toward the front, since the back rows are set aside for families with children.

After the Sunday liturgy, Sunday School for all grades meets from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM, alongside fellowships for young professionals and college students. An Arabic sermon is followed by a church clinic and a food bank. Friday evenings include a Bible study and hymns class for all grades. On Monday evenings, outreach ministries serve people experiencing homelessness, visit an assisted living community and support street medicine, followed by fellowship. A catechism class for anyone curious about the Orthodox faith meets Saturdays at 4:30 PM in the chapel, with no registration required. A Watch Live link and English sermons and Bible studies on YouTube are available for those who cannot attend in person. Confirm times on the website, as the weekly schedule changes.
