Holy Cross Coptic Orthodox Church is relocating from its location at 700 S. I-35 in Round Rock to a new site in Cedar Park. The church’s new space, at 900 Holy Cross Drive, is under construction and is expected to open in September.
The Rev. Benjamin Abouelkheir said the church needed a larger space to accommodate its growing congregation. He said it chose Cedar Park because about two-thirds of its members live in Cedar Park and Leander.
The church currently hosts three liturgies a week, along with Bible studies, Sunday school for children, classes, summer activities and monthly meetings for men, women and children.
At the new location, the church plans to add Sunday school for adults. It also plans to open an academy offering monthslong courses on different faith-related topics, a step toward teaching the faith to both adults and the next generation (Psalm 78:4).
