If you are new, please speak with a church member or servant for guidance.
Moments from Our Monastery
We believe the monastery should be a place where youth and families grow in faith, service, and community. Through worship, teaching, fellowship, and participation in the life of the Church, young people are encouraged to deepen their relationship with God and stay connected to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo tradition.
Our goal is to help the next generation feel welcomed, supported, and rooted in the faith.
Worship & Community
Explore moments from worship, youth gatherings, sermons, and the spiritual life of the monastery.
