What's this service about?

St. Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Theological College (SACOTC) is a unique place in the Southern hemisphere! Spread over 22 acres of tranquil bush land it is an ideal place for study of theology, spirituality, reflection and worship. It is an ideal atmosphere for those preparing for ordination to the priesthood, future theologians and for many who will enter many fields of ministry

Our College is named after the great pillar and doctor of the Church - St. Athanasius the Apostolic (20th Pope of Alexandria). He was also known as Athanasius Contra Mundum (Against the World) because he stood in defense of the biblical doctrine of Christ. At SACOTC we have a duty to continue in the footsteps of St. Athanasius in the sense of preserving the Truth of the Gospel in our generation and for generations to come.
