About
What We Believe
The historic Christian faith, confessed in the Lutheran tradition of the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus.
The Scriptures
We believe the Bible — the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments — is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
One Triune God
We worship one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We confess Jesus Christ as fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit, crucified, risen bodily, and coming again.
Salvation by Grace
Salvation is the gift of God, by grace alone, received through faith alone in Christ alone — not the result of works.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit indwells believers, gives gifts for service, and forms us into the likeness of Christ.
The Church
The Church is the body of Christ — local and global — gathered around Word and sacrament, sent into the world.
