About Us
Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church serves the Coptic Orthodox community of Melbourne, Florida and the surrounding Space Coast.
Our parish serves under the auspices of His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, the 118th Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark, and under the auspices of His Eminence Metropolitan Youssef, bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States of America.
Our church is named for the Archangel Michael, the chief of the heavenly hosts and a constant intercessor for mankind. His icon, shown here, watches over our parish.
“Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire.” Psalm 104:4
Our Priest: Fr. Raphael Kerelos
Father Raphael was ordained a priest on February 23, 2003 by H.E. Bishop Youssef, with the presence of H.E. Bishop Serapion and H.G. Bishop Mattias. We thank God for this great gift to our church, and we also pray that the Lord will continue blessing his service.
