Who we are

A light in this dark world.

Medan Beyesus Evangelical Church stands as a light in this dark world. Our hope is that the love of Jesus reaches the community around us.

Every Sunday we gather for prayer, worship, and time in the Word, with an Amharic service upstairs and an English service downstairs.

Our aim

Making the glory of God known around the world.

“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”Habakkuk 2:14

We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community through biblical preaching, discipleship, communal worship and prayer, and evangelism and outreach, equipping the saints for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:11–13).
