Do I need to be Orthodox to attend?

No, absolutely not! We welcome people from all backgrounds and faiths. Our church is open to everyone seeking to learn about Orthodox Christianity.

What should I wear?

We encourage modest dress. Men typically wear dress shirts and pants, while women often wear dresses or skirts that cover the knees and shoulders. Head coverings are optional but appreciated.

Our services are conducted primarily in Ge'ez (the liturgical language) and Amharic, with some German translations provided. We also have English-speaking members who can help translate.
