About us
Welcome to St. Michael Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Tokyo
In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, One God, Amen
The Archangel St. Michael Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Tokyo was established in 2000 in collaboration with the Ethiopian communities who lived in and around Tokyo.
The congregation remained as a Mission until 2010, lacking a priest and a permanent place of worship.
The church provides religious service to faithful Orthodox Christians in Japan according to Ethiopian Orthodox practice.
Our mission is to uphold the centuries-old tradition and values of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church; to provide religious services consistent with ancient tradition practice and values of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church; to increase the awareness of Ethiopians in Japan, about the history, cultures, languages, and tradition of the Church and Ethiopia; and to build a vibrant Orthodox community that promotes the teachings of Our Lord to love one another and that does not condone ethnicism, tribalism and racism.
St. Michael Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Tokyo is strict adherent of the ancient Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church faith.
