"Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light."
(Ephesians 5:14)

Welcome to the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States Florida College Convention, a blessed opportunity for young Coptic Orthodox college students to deepen their spiritual lives, build lasting friendships, and grow in their understanding of the Orthodox faith.

Overseen by His Eminence Metropolitan Youssef and His Grace Bishop Basil, this convention is designed to foster a spirit of unity and devotion, helping attendees navigate the challenges of college life while strengthening their commitment to Christ and the Church.

With a focus on spiritual growth and community, this convention offers students a chance to explore the teachings of the Coptic Orthodox faith, participate in engaging workshops, and experience the fullness of Orthodox worship. Guided by the vision and mission of the Diocese of the Southern United States, we welcome all who seek to grow in faith and fellowship in a supportive and inspiring environment.
