On October 6, 2013, Faisa Atomsa, of the Oromo Evangelical Church of KC, was ordained into the Holy Ministry of the North American Lutheran Church. The ceremony was held at St. Matthew's, with the Rev. Dr. Gemechis Buba (NALC Missions Director) preaching and presiding over the ordination. Rev. Challa Baro, of the Ebenezer Oromo Evangelical Church in Minneapolis, MN baptized a little one from the KC Oromo congregation. There was music by the Oromo choir from Minneapolis and the Micronesian Evangelical Church that meets at St. Matthews. The service was followed with fellowship and Oromo food.
