Coptic Convention & Education Centre

The Coptic Convention and Education Centre (CCEC), stands as a state-of-the-art multi- purpose building dedicated to promoting the spirit of unity, Christian teaching, education, learning and fellowship. Inspired by the wisdom of the Holy Fathers, this Centre continues the sacred tradition of the Church as a living
school of the Spirit, where believers grow together in faith and love.

As St. Basil the Great reminds us, “In the assembly of the faithful, the Spirit teaches all and everyone learns the commandments of God.” Here, the Centre serves as a vibrant space for spiritual education, enabling all generations to deepen their understanding and live out the teachings of Christ.

Echoing the profound insight of St. John Chrysostom, “Gathering together is the beginning of love and the foundation of the Church.” This building is more than bricks and mortar — it is a home for unity as members in the One Body of Christ, for connection, where relationships are forged, Christ Love is cherished and exercised, and the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood are strengthened.

Finally, we remember the words of St. Cyprian of Carthage, “Unity in the Church is the bond that holds all believers in one body, educating and sanctifying each member.” The Centre embodies this unity, fostering a community where education, fellowship, and shared meals bring us closer as one family in Christ.

Together, through worship, study, and celebration, the Coptic Convention and Education Centre nurtures the faith and spirit of our congregation, equipping us to serve and grow as one body.
