Who We Are
We are Ethiopian Evangelical Christian Church in Austin, TX (EECC). Our members are mostly Christians from Ethiopia and Eritrea. We are very happy to welcome anyone who believes in Jesus Christ or is interested in getting to know our Lord and Savior and to worship with us.
Ethiopia has close historical ties to all three of the world major Abrahamic religions. It was one of the first Christian countries in the world, having officially adopted Christianity as the state religion in the 4th century. It still has a Christian majority. Ethiopia is a country with thousand years of history, but here in our church our history is HIS story!
Come and worship with us! Jesus is Lord!!

Our Doctrine
What We Believe
The Bible
The Bible the inerrant Word of God revealed for the purpose of salvation and is the source and foundation of faith.
The Church
The Church is a body of believers who are born-again through faith in Christ.
God the Father
God is eternal, omnipotent and unchanging and lives eternally in the person of trinity: God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. God created the universe and everything in it. God created man in his image. God the Father in his love made a covenant with the people of Israel. In keeping with this covenant, God also prepared a way of salvation for all humanity through His Son Jesus Christ. To all those that accept Jesus Christ and repent their sins, he gave authority to be the children of God.
God the Son
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and was born of the virgin Mary. He is God Almighty and complete human being. Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, was crucified on the cross for our sin and was resurrected bodily from the dead. He was ascended to heaven and sits at the right hand of God interceding for our sin. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between man and God.
God the Holy Spirit
God the Holy Spirit is the spiritual personality of the trinity. The Holy Spirit convicts the world about sin and righteousness and judgment. He indwells in believers and leads them to all truth. He encourages and gives them power to live the life of holiness. Until the return of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit will fill Christians with spiritual gifts of grace to enable them to serve Jesus with power, authority and love.
Salvation
In the beginning, man was made without sin. But when man rebelled against God, he died a spiritual death and was separated from God. The only way man can have eternal life is by being born again through faith in Jesus Christ through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. This is affected when a person accepts Jesus Christ as his/her personal Savior and testifies to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in his life.
Holiness
It is appropriate for believers to separate themselves from the worthless things of the world and live a life of righteousness in Jesus for the Glory of God.
Key Scriptures
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
እኔ መንገድና ዕውነት ሕይወትም ነኝ፤ በእኔ በቀር ወደ አብ የሚመጣ የለም።
— John 14:6
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
መዳን በማንም የለም፣ እንድንበት ዘንድ የሚገባን ለሰዎች የተሰጠ ከሰማይ በታች ሌላ ስም የለምና።
— Acts 4:12
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
በእርሱ የሚያምን ሁሉ የዘላለም ሕይወት እንዲኖረው እንጂ እንዳይጠፋ እግዚአብሔር አንድያ ልጁን እስኪሰጥ ድረስ ዓለሙን እንዲሁ ወዶአልና።
— John 3:16
“I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
