Who are we?

Upper Room Christian Bookshop Café is a non-for-profit ministry of the Coptic Orthodox Church, established to promote spiritual growth, Christian learning, and meaningful fellowship within the community.

It exists as a welcoming space where faith and daily life meet, offering a carefully curated selection of Christian books, resources, and gifts that deepen understanding of Scripture, Tradition, and the life of the Church.

More than a bookshop, Upper Room is a place of encounter. A place to pause, reflect, and connect, whether through quiet reading, shared conversations over coffee, or moments of stillness in a busy world.
