St. Macarius the Great American Coptic Orthodox Church


Through the Grace of God and the prayers and blessings of our fathers the bishops, Bishop Youseff, Bishop Basil, Bishop Gregory and the presbyters of the Tampa Bay area and the Southern United States Diocese, St. Macarius the Great American Coptic Orthodox Church has been established. Our focus is to continue the Apostolic Traditions of the Coptic Orthodox faith while maintaining and preserving the 1st century church.
“The soul that really loves God and Christ, though it may do ten thousand righteousness's, esteems itself as having wrought nothing, by reason of its insatiable aspiration after God. Though it should exhaust the body with fasting's, with watching's, its attitude towards the virtues is as if it had not yet even begun to labor for them.”
