My wife and i are catechumens at the local Coptic church in New Hampshire where its healthy big congregation multiple liturgy a week. We are planning to move to Louisiana in the coming years for work. The only Coptic church where we are looking at moving is listed as a community church on the diocese website and doesn’t have a full time priest and only liturgy on Saturdays. The other orthodox option is OCA. We don’t want to convert to EO if we don’t have to. How do we know if the community church will be able to keep growing and stay running as well as what is some benefits of having small congregation? Thank you
