Divine Liturgy (ቅዳሴ)
🕓 Sundays: 4:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Our primary weekly service — the Divine Liturgy — brings together scripture readings, ancient Ge’ez hymns, prayer, and the Holy Eucharist. This sacred celebration is the heart of our spiritual life, and all are welcome to attend and participate.
Baptism (ጥምቀት)
Baptism marks the beginning of a Christian life — a rebirth through water and Spirit. We offer baptism for infants and adults, performed with reverence and preparation in accordance with Orthodox tradition.
📞 To schedule a baptism, please contact the church office.
💍 Holy Matrimony
Marriage is a sacred covenant between man, woman, and God. In the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition, Holy Matrimony is celebrated with spiritual preparation, prayer, and joy.

Holy Communion (ቅዱስ ቁርባን)
“He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.” – John 6:56
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us…” – 1 John 1:9
During Divine Liturgy, the faithful receive the Body and Blood of Christ in Holy Communion. It is a profound mystery of unity, reverence, and grace — the summit of Orthodox Christian worship.
Confession (ንስሐ)
Through the Sacrament of Confession, believers are renewed in grace. Confession offers spiritual healing, forgiveness, and a return to holiness through prayerful repentance and pastoral guidance.
👧🏾 Children and Youth Education
“Train up a child in the way he should go…” – Proverbs 22:6
