About Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo St. Michael's Church
Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo St. Michael Church is a sacred community devoted to the worship of the Holy Trinity and the preservation of the Apostolic Orthodox faith. Rooted in the ancient Tewahedo tradition, we live by prayer, fasting, and the Holy Sacraments, through which we receive God’s grace and grow in spiritual life .
Our church brings the faithful together in unity, love, and service, following the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. All are welcome to worship, grow in faith, and walk in the path of salvation within the life of the Church.
Our Mission
Our mission is to proclaim the fullness of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in the holy tradition of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, guiding the faithful toward repentance, sanctification, and eternal salvation. We nurture believers through prayer, the Holy Sacraments, and sound teaching, and we strive to live as the Body of Christ—bearing witness to His truth in love, unity, and service to all.
Our Vision
To be a holy Orthodox community, firmly rooted in the Apostolic faith, where believers are transformed through the Divine Liturgy, the Holy Sacraments, and a life of prayer—growing in unity with Christ and bearing witness to His truth, love, and salvation to all.
Our History
Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo St. Michael Church in Calgary was established by faithful believers seeking to preserve the Apostolic Orthodox faith and worship in the ancient Tewahedo tradition. Rooted in one of the oldest Christian heritages—dating back to the early centuries of Christianity in Eritrea —our church continues this sacred legacy in the diaspora.
From humble beginnings, the community has grown through God’s grace, remaining steadfast in prayer, the Divine Liturgy, and the Holy Sacraments. Today, St. Michael Church stands as a spiritual home, nurturing faith, unity, and the life of Christ for present and future generations.
