The Saint Mark Coptic Orthodox Church of Washington DC (SMCOC) was originally established in 1976. We started with a very small congregation who were dedicated to the idea of bringing the rich Coptic Orthodox faith to the area in and around our nation’s capitol while establishing dedicated facilities for them to practice their faith and instill these values in their children. SMCOC aims to maintai

n the spirit and tradition of 2000 years ago founded by Saint Mark the Evangelist. In all, its services and activities, the Church provides a warm environment for all members while maintaining the traditional customs and rites of the Coptic Church. The mission of Saint Mark Coptic Orthodox Church is to help everyone grow in fervent love of Jesus Christ. We are a local church with a global impact. We hold fast to the Orthodox traditions, but incorporate a modern and progressive approach to the richness of the Faith. Our church focuses on being diverse both in membership and service. Everyone is welcome to join us in worship, weekly Bible Study, and Sunday School. We offer dozens of various outreach programs throughout the greater DC area, around our country, and the world.

What does it really mean to be a Christian?

St. Mary is the Theotokos, the one who bore God in the flesh. She carried Christ into the world. And in a different way, that is our calling too.

To be a Christian is to become a Christophoros, a Christ-carrier.

Not simply to wear a cross around our neck.
Not simply to have a cross tattooed on our wrist.
Not simply to call ourselves Christian.

But to carry Christ in the way we speak, the way we forgive, the way we encourage, the way we love, and the way we pour ourselves out for others.

The question is not only, “Do people know I’m a Christian?”

The deeper question is:

“Can people see Christ in me?”

“By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13:35

What if the Christian life isn’t about asking, “How much can I get away with?” but instead, “Who would I become if I gave myself completely to God?”

The deepest motivation isn’t fear. It isn’t rules. It’s love. ❤️

“I belong to You, Jesus. I am Yours.”
