St. Anianus Coptic Orthodox Church

About this church

St. Anianus Coptic Orthodox Church in Monroe Township, New Jersey, is a Coptic Orthodox parish that began in central New Jersey in 2013. Sunday worship runs through the morning: Matins and the daily office (Agpeya) start at 7:50 a.m., the Divine Liturgy follows at 8:45 a.m., and The Link and Sunday School meet at 10:45 a.m., with a hospitality meal afterward. The Liturgy is celebrated in the Coptic Rite, centers on the Eucharist, and is conducted almost entirely in English. The site offers a visitor FAQ explaining incense, standing, hymns, and vestments for first-time guests. Communion is reserved for baptized Orthodox Christians, and visitors are invited to simply observe.

During the week, the Divine Liturgy is also offered Wednesday mornings at 8 a.m., with Bible study that evening at 7:30 p.m. Friday brings a children's choir at 6:30 p.m. and a high school youth group at 7:30 p.m., and Vespers and Praises are held Saturday evenings at 6:45 p.m. Ministries include The Link, a weekly discussion and small-group gathering; Lighthouse, an outreach effort to the surrounding community; a diaconate program for deacons; retreats; and a women's ministry that meets on the first Tuesday of each month. Times can change, so check the calendar on the website before visiting.
