The answer
It is a pleasure to share the Coptic Orthodox Church with you. The first step is seeking your salvation. Step two is faith. Step three begins the process by entering the Church through the Holy Mysteries of Confession, Baptism, Chrismation, and receiving the Holy Eucharist. It is good that you purchased the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible, but discipleship is also very important. You should go to your local Coptic church and get to know the priest there. Sometimes, there is more than one, so you need to choose. Sometimes, there is a cluster of churches in one area, but one is prayed all in English, which is usually preferred by English speakers. Once you have found the priest who will be your spiritual or confessor father, he will guide you on your spiritual journey. He will tell you what to read, how to pray, when to fast, etc. Our Church is built upon discipleship, handed down from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and His disciples and apostles, and their disciples, even until now. If you are unsure about where the churches are near you, please let us know where you live and we can connect with a priest in your area.This is a very good link with many topics and about the Orthodox doctrine, faith, tradition, rites, and rituals: https://suscopts.org/resources/literature/orthodox-faith/.
