Oromo Evangelical Church of Ottawa (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)
The Oromo Evangelical Church of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada began as a small group meeting the home of Tesfaye Negeri and Lelise Tewofilos in 2004. (Oromo is a language spoken in Ethiopia, Kenya, and in smaller places elsewhere in Africa.) As more Oromo Christians continued to join the fellowship, the group moved to All Saints Lutheran Church in 2006. From 2008 to 2010 the congregation shifted to home to home fellowship biweekly. At the end of 2010 the congregation was stable enought to return All Saints Lutheran Church and to become a registered charity. In 2011 the Church moved to St. Martin's Anglican Church in 2011 where they began to meet weekly.
In 2013 the Oromo Evangelical Church of Ottawa began to explore a relationship with Mennonite Church Eastern Canada. There are also Oromo Evangelical Churches located in other large Canadian cities.
