Welcome to Holy Trinity University!
It is a profound honor to serve as the President of this distinguished institution, where our mission is rooted in both academic excellence and the enduring spiritual legacy of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. At Holy Trinity University, we are committed to shaping future leaders who are not only intellectually prepared but also spiritually grounded in the rich teachings of the Orthodox Christian faith.
Our University stands as a beacon of higher learning, where faith and reason unite to create an environment of holistic education. We offer a diverse array of programs that encourage our students to explore knowledge deeply while remaining anchored in the timeless values of truth, integrity, and service. Here, we nurture the intellectual and spiritual growth of every student, equipping them to navigate the complexities of the modern world with wisdom, compassion, and moral clarity.
Our faculty are dedicated to their academic disciplines and are equally passionate about mentoring our students. They guide and inspire our students to excel not only in their studies but also in their character, shaping them to become ethical leaders who will make meaningful contributions to society. Through research, teaching, and community engagement, our faculty bring the Orthodox theological mission to life, encouraging students to see the world through the lens of faith while preparing them for professional success.
At the heart of Holy Trinity University is our commitment to upholding the Orthodox Christian tradition. We seek to preserve and promote the spiritual, cultural, and intellectual heritage of Orthodoxy, particularly through our emphasis on theological education, pastoral formation, and service to the Church and society. Our Ethiopian Orthodox Christian roots further enrich our academic community, offering a unique blend of tradition and innovation that shapes our identity as a university.
As we look toward the future, we remain steadfast in our mission to prepare students for both temporal and eternal success. I invite you to join us in this journey of learning, faith, and service as we strive to fulfill our calling to "love and serve God, the Church, and the world."
Thank you for your interest in Holy Trinity University. May God continue to bless our efforts and guide us in the pursuit of knowledge and truth.
