Serving Our Community with Love
At the Tigrayan Orthodox Tewahedo Church, we are deeply committed to serving and supporting our local community. Through various community service initiatives, we strive to extend the love, compassion, and care of Christ to those in need. Our community service efforts encompass a range of activities aimed at addressing the practical needs of individuals and families, promoting social justice, and fostering a sense of unity and solidarity within our community.
Some of our community service activities include:
Humanitarian Assistance: We provide humanitarian assistance to people facing drought and other crises, particularly in Tigray. Through the guidance and leadership of our clergy and community leaders, we organize efforts to collect and distribute essential supplies such as food, water, and shelter to those affected, offering support and relief during times of hardship.
Youth Empowerment Programs: We invest in the empowerment and development of youth through mentorship programs, educational initiatives, and leadership opportunities. By providing guidance, support, and positive role models, we help young people realize their potential and become active contributors to our community.
Environmental Stewardship: We are committed to caring for God's creation and promoting environmental stewardship within our community, organizing clean-up events, tree plantings, and other initiatives to protect and preserve our natural environment.
Volunteer Efforts: We encourage members of our congregation to volunteer their time, talents, and resources to serve others in our community, whether through participating in community clean-up events, volunteering at local shelters, or providing assistance to elderly or disabled neighbors.
