Serving Together

At MKC Dire Dawa, ministry is not the work of a few; but the calling of every believer. Inspired by the Acts 2 community and the Anabaptist conviction of the priesthood of all believers, we have structured our congregation so that each member participates in building up the body of Christ.

Youth Ministry

The Next Generation

Our youth ministry exists to disciple young people aged 13–30, equipping them to live boldly for Christ in Dire Dawa and beyond. We meet weekly for Bible study, fellowship, and worship, and organise evangelism outreaches in schools and neighbourhoods.

Women's Fellowship

Sisters in Christ

The Women's Fellowship of MKC Dire Dawa is a community of prayer, support, and service. Our women have always been at the heart of the church's witness; a legacy stretching back to the underground years when women led cell groups and organised house fellowships across the city with courage and faith.

Today, the women's fellowship gathers for Bible study, prayer, practical support for families in need, and leadership development. Women serve as cell group leaders, Sunday school teachers, evangelists, and deaconesses.

Choir & Worship

Music That Carries the Spirit

Music has always been central to MKC worship. From the underground years; when believers gathered in homes, singing softly so as not to be heard; to the joyful, full-throated praise of our Sunday services today, the choirs of MKC Dire Dawa carry forward a living tradition of original Amharic worship songs.

Our choir members commit to prayer, regular practice, and a disciplined spiritual life. They write original songs, arrange Scripture passages into memorable melody, and minister across denominational lines in Dire Dawa.

House Fellowships

Cell Groups - The Heart of the Church

The cell group is not an optional extra. It is where discipleship happens, where members pray for each other by name, and where the gospel spreads person to person across Dire Dawa.

Weekly Bible Study

Each cell group studies the same lesson arrenged by the church, for that season. Cell meeting deepens Bible understanding through discussion and personal application.

Intercessory Prayer

Cell members pray specifically for each other's needs; health, employment, family, and faith; building a real community of care.

Neighbourhood Outreach

Each cell group is responsible for bearing witness to its immediate neighbourhood, sharing the gospel and discipling new believers before baptism.
