The Coptic Orthodox Churches of Southwestern Ontario identified a great need to build-up the foundation of her children's spiritual life and enhance their appreciation and understanding of the orthodox dogma. As many search for the truth, it is important for Christian Coptic Orthodox individuals to be "Always be ready to give a defence to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear" 1 Peter 3:15
Although the basic source of sound doctrine is the Holy Bible, additional sources such as the sayings of the Fathers, the authenticated creeds of the holy councils, traditions recorded in the Church books, especially the ritual books, etc. will be used in delivering the true teachings.
