St. John the Beloved Coptic Orthodox Church

About this church

St. John the Beloved Coptic Orthodox Church is a Smyrna congregation initiated under Metropolitan Youssef, with its first Divine Liturgy celebrated on September 17, 2022. The parish website introduces Coptic Orthodox faith, worship, fellowship, Sunday School, children’s resources, youth ministry, pre-servant formation, and St. Nicholas service. Its goal is to help people draw closer to God and connect with a growing church community while learning what it means to live as the church through shared faith and values.

The current official site directs visitors to a Services section but does not expose a dependable recurring liturgy schedule in accessible text. Prospective guests should contact the parish before traveling to Baker Road rather than relying on an unofficial Sunday hour. The absence of a published time is especially important for an Orthodox congregation, where Divine Liturgy, Vespers, feast days, fasting seasons, and special services may follow different calendars. Families can still review Kids Corner, Sunday School, and The Beloved Youth to understand available formation, and inquirers can read the beliefs and church-history pages. This profile preserves the verified 2022 founding context and ministry structure without inventing a schedule the parish has not made textually accessible.
