Who We Are
- We at the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Irving are an assembly of Jesus Christ’s followers who have come together to worship God in the Spirit and in truth seeking to encounter Him to be transformed, equipped, reach out, and grow.
- As we gather in His name:
-
- We proclaim Him: by the power of the Holy Spirit through inspired singing, vibrant prayer, powerful word, and loving fellowship.
-
- We celebrate Him: in adoration and humility, sharing his abounding love and grace with one another and to all.
-
- We expect to encounter Him through His word and His Holy Spirit, and believe that our lives will be touched and transformed making us know, love, serve, obey, and worship Him better.
- We seek spiritual gifts, fan them into flame, and utilize them to serve one another.

- In all that we do, we seek to proclaim and glorify Him (Col 1:28, 3:17; 1 Cor 10:31).
