Who We Are
Welcome to Peniel Ethiopian Evangelical Church. We are committed to glorifying God through biblical teaching, passionate worship, prayer, discipleship, and loving our community. Whether you are visiting for the first time or searching for a church family, you are warmly welcomed.
Peniel Ethiopian Evangelical Church was formed in September 1997. The initial congregation was made up of 17 people. The members of the church had met up in Hamilton Park, located in the northern part of Columbus, Ohio, for a Bible-study-like gathering. Through God's hand, we have been able to continue on as a church, growing stronger.
We are mainly Ethiopian immigrants and Ethiopian Americans who gather in Columbus, Ohio to worship our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. Our goal is to preach the gospel, make disciples, and wait in fellowship for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We receive as our brothers and sisters all who believe in Jesus Christ, as well as guests and visitors who are not Christians.
What We Believe
We believe in one God – existing in the community of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe God is the creator of mankind and of all things, visible and invisible.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son and Savior of the world.
We believe in the Holy Spirit that dwells within every Christian.
We believe the Bible is composed of 66 books and is the inspired and inerrant Word of God and the final authority for all matters of faith.
We believe that mankind, created by God, willfully sinned, and as a result, is lost and without hope. Mankind's only hope and salvation is from Jesus Christ.
We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will inherit eternal life; the unsaved, eternal separation from God.
We believe that salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe that the church is the body and bride of Christ – consisting of all born again believers in Jesus Christ everywhere.
We believe marriage is ordained by God as the union between one man and one woman.
We believe in participating in the Lord's Supper (communion) on a regular basis.
What Guides Us
Three commitments that shape everything we do, from Sunday worship to how we care for our neighbors.
Our mission is to reconcile nations to God so that they would serve Him, and to make Christ-like disciples of them through the declaration of the Gospel that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and was glorified in heaven — guiding and preparing them for the glorious appearing of Christ, the King. (Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; 5:42; 2 Cor. 5:18-20; Phil. 1:9-11)
Our vision is to see a generation that is established on Jesus Christ (who was raised from the dead by the glory of God the Father), built up by the Word of God, filled with the fruit of righteousness, and worthy of His Kingdom. (Matt. 16:15-19; Rom. 6:3-5; Col. 3:16; Phil. 1:9-11)
The convictions we return to every day, together.
