About this church
Medehane Alem Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, also presented on its website as Debre Medhanit Medhane Alem, serves the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox community in Tucson from 4251 E Broadway Blvd. The site lists Sunday service hours of 4 to 11 a.m., with the church shown as closed on other days, so first-time visitors should confirm timing through the contact form or email before attending. The congregation belongs to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Oriental Orthodox family, and its site is written in both Amharic and English.
The website describes annual celebrations such as the Medhane Alem feast, Palm Sunday, and Easter, gatherings that have drawn priests, deacons, and worshippers from local churches. Church members volunteer to teach children and youth the Bible, the liturgy, and church traditions. The church states that it offers baptism, marriage, burial, and counseling services free of charge, and it accepts new members through an online membership form. The site also has pages for liturgy and church songs, audio teachings, a live broadcast section, a photo gallery, and donation or pledge information. Questions can be sent through the site's contact form or to the email address it publishes, info@tucsonmedehanealemeotc.org.
