The Scriptures
The Bible — both Old and New Testaments — is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God, our supreme guide for faith and life.
Loudoun County, Virginia
Rooted in Christ.
Devoted to His Word.
An Ethiopian & Eritrean Bible-teaching family of faith — worshiping in Amharic, Tigrinya, and English in the heart of Loudoun County.
Welcome Home
A church where every family belongs.
Ethiopian & Eritrean Bible Church of Loudoun (EEBCL) is a Christ-centered congregation gathering in Ashburn, Virginia. We exist to exalt Jesus Christ, teach the whole counsel of Scripture, and disciple families — across generations and across our Habesha community.
Whether you are new to faith, returning after time away, or seeking a spiritual home that honors both your heritage and your hope in Christ, you are welcome here. Come as you are. Bring your children. Bring your questions. Bring your friends.
Read what we believe →“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
— Matthew 18:20
What We Believe
The unchanging Gospel for every generation.
We hold to the historic Christian faith as taught in the Scriptures and confessed by the church through the ages.
One Triune God
We worship one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — equal in power, glory, and love.
Jesus Christ
Fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, crucified for our sins, risen bodily from the dead, and returning in glory.
Salvation by Grace
Salvation is the free gift of God, received by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone — not by works.
The Holy Spirit
The Spirit indwells every believer, transforms us into the image of Christ, and empowers us for worship, witness, and service.
The Church & Mission
The Church is the body of Christ, called to make disciples of all nations — beginning in our homes, our community, and the ends of the earth.

A ministry for every season of life.
From the nursery to the seniors' table, we are committed to forming Christ-followers at every age.
