Our Mission

Rooted in the Orthodox Tewahedo faith, shaped for New York life.

OTY NYC guides young Orthodox Tewahedo Christians into a deeper understanding of their faith and supports them in living an authentic Orthodox life amid the challenges of New York City.

We provide core knowledge of Church history, dogma, canons, and rites that many have not had the opportunity to learn, while fostering fellowship, service, and mentorship that strengthens both spiritual and everyday life.
