Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”— Matthew 11:28
Welcome to Our Parish
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them”
Matthew 18:20
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
Psalm 133:1
We are a community of families, young people, and seekers rooted in the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo faith. Since 1990, our parish has gathered in the Washington, D.C. area to worship, serve, and grow together. Whether you grew up in the tradition or are discovering it for the first time, you belong here.
