Nurturing Faith, Song, and Fellowship for Generations
Fenote Selam Sunday School (FSSS) was established to give our children and families a grounded spiritual home. What began as gatherings after liturgy has blossomed into a thriving community of teachers and faithful servants.
A Living Sanctuary within the Church
From our early days at the church, our mission has been clear: to offer a warm and welcoming space where every member can discover the richness of our faith, participate in the sacred choral tradition, and build lasting friendships.
Guided by devoted clergy and volunteer leaders, FSSS brings together generations in weekly study, spiritual counsel, and practical community outreach across Western Washington.
Founding & Early Teachings
Began with dedicated elders gathering youth to learn the sacred scriptures and traditions of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
Community Outreach
Serving hundreds of families across Edmonds with weekly classes, fellowship programs, and charitable support.
