The Campus Ministry service under Mahibere Kidusan USA Coordinating Center is a spiritual community dedicated to nurturing the faith, knowledge, and spiritual growth of students within the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Rooted in the timeless traditions and teachings of the Church, the Campus Ministry service strives to guide young believers in living a Christ-centered life during their academic journey. Through fellowship, learning the church’s teachings, and service, it provides a strong foundation for students seeking to grow closer to God while navigating the demands of campus life.
Our Purpose
The Campus Ministry exists to inspire students to develop a deep understanding of Orthodox theology, uphold the traditions of the Church, and strengthen their personal spiritual discipline. By creating an environment where Orthodox Christian values are practiced and shared, the Campus Ministry service aims to form responsible, faithful, and compassionate individuals who can serve both the Church and society with integrity.
