The association aims to create opportunities for Ethiopian Orthodox believers to come together and deepen their faith. It attempts to offer instruction on Orthodox Christian doctrine to its members. The association promotes good coexistence with all people, regardless of their race and gender, following the Christian example. The association's purpose is to raise funds for the acquisition and maintenance of the Mahedere Sebhat Kidest Ledeta Le-Mariam Church in Zurich, as well as for other facilities serving the church community. It aims to assist in the establishment and maintenance of the church through the contributions of its members, the collection of donations, and other suitable means. The association does not pursue any economic purposes of its own and is not used as a political tool, making it independent of Ethiopian authorities. It operates selflessly.
