An oasis for over 70 years
For more than seven decades, expats from all over the world have gathered in Maadi to worship and encourage one another. This has been a place of community, family, and hope in the middle of the desert — for people just passing through Cairo and for people who've made it home.
Â
We're interdenominational by choice: aligned to Scripture, grounded in the Apostles' Creed, rather than any single tradition. Whoever you are and wherever you're from, Maadi Community Church is a place to belong.
What a Friday looks like
Nothing surprising — here’s the shape of the 90 minutes, start to finish.

Greeters welcome you at the entrance and help you find a seat. Coffee and tea are usually out.
9:30 – 9:50
10:30 - 10:45
Worship
Singing together, led by a small team. Words are displayed so you don’t need to know anything beforehand.
10:45-11:30
Community
The service closes and people linger to talk. This is where community happens. Stay and get to know someone
9:15 – 9:30
9:50 – 10:30
Teaching
A message from Scripture, life-giving, practical, and grounded, from our senior leadership team.
New here? Start with this.
The questions every first-time visitor actually has, answered before you have to ask.
Do I need to arrive early?
Come anytime between 9:00 and 9:30. Someone will be at the entrance to greet you and show you where to sit.
Is there parking?
Street parking is available near Port Said St. and Road 17. We’re on the grounds of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church, easy to spot from the road.
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes. MCC Kids is available for birth - 5th grade during the Friday service. When you arrive, one of our greeters can show you exactly where to check in. Kids are also welcome to stay with you during the service.
Will I be put on the spot?
We love welcoming newcomers, so we'll give you an opportunity to introduce yourself and we'll have a small gift for you. But there's absolutely no pressure—if you'd rather just sit back and take everything in, that's completely fine.
What if I’m just visiting Cairo?
Many of our regulars started as short-term visitors. You’re just as welcome for one Friday as for seventy years.
What denomination is it?
We’re interdenominational — grounded in the historic Apostles’ Creed rather than any one tradition, so people from many church backgrounds feel at home.
