Paul American Coptic Orthodox Church in Orange County, CA
is “to be an open multi-cultured community where people of all ethnic
backgrounds who join our Church can feel welcome and at home.”
The mission of St Paul Church is rooted in the Living Tradition of our
Holy Orthodox Church. The Holy Orthodox Church is the Body of Christ
and all Her members are a new creation in Christ, as St Paul wro
te to the
Colossians “and have put on the new man who is renewed in Knowledge
according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek
nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free,
but Christ is all and in all” (Col. 3:10-11). The Holy Orthodox Church is the
Household of God and all Her members are equal fellow citizens as St. Paul
wrote to the Ephesians, “Now,therefore, you are no longer strangers and
foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the Household
of God” (Eph. 2:19).
