On behalf of the Kale Heywet Church in North America (KHCNA), I would like to say welcome to our website. This is one of the ways we connect and communicate with one another. The Bible in Hebrews 10:24-25 says that we need to consider to motivate one another for love and good works, and it encourages us not to neglect the assembling of ourselves together as we see the day of the Lord approaching.
The vision of seeing the Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church (EKHC) expanding its gospel ministry and influence outside Ethiopia was in the hearts and minds of the EKHC pioneer leaders for many years. This vision began to be seen in North America when EKHCLO was legally established in the United States in 2009. After four years, in 2013, EKHCLO organized the fellowship for KHC members who live in North America. In 2014, the first conference was held in Atlanta, GA. Since then, the conference continued annually for the fourth time in four different cities of the U.S.
God has repeatedly spoken in those conferences that we are sent by God to North America as messengers to share the gospel to all people and to plant churches. We are challenged that we have given much by God, and we have received the legacy from EKHC pioneer leaders to follow their example of proclaiming the gospel and planting churches wherever God put us. We should not imitate others to live a lifestyle of earthly comfort and safety for ourselves as people call it “The American dream;” instead, we are called to make a difference in the world in words and deeds.
Therefore, now is our time to shine the gospel. Let us pray together, encourage one another, and be engaged to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ in North America and beyond.
The Gospel Wins!

The Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church (EKHC) was born out of a powerful missionary movement in the early 20th century, focused on spreading the Gospel, equipping believers, and planting churches throughout Ethiopia.
In the early 2000s, Ethiopian believers living abroad began gathering in prayer and worship, forming churches across North America. These congregations eventually united as the Kale Heywet Church in North America (KHCNA) to continue the mission of EKHC in a new context.
Today, KHCNA is active in multiple cities, working to plant new churches, train leaders, and build communities that reflect Christ.
KHCNA’s leadership structure is designed to reflect our commitment to accountability, transparency, and Gospel-centered impact. From the General Assembly to the Executive Branch, every layer exists to strengthen our ministry’s foundation and empower our departments to serve with excellence.
Whether in administration, evangelism, or community care, each ministry plays a vital role in advancing our collective mission across North America.
