​On August 31/1996, a prayer service was started with the blessing of (Liqe Liqawunt) Workneh Haile. From August 31/1996 to 2024, Debre Genet Kidus Amanuel We Kidane Mihret Church is the first Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in the city of Philadelphia during the era of Chancellor Vanya.

From August 31/1996 to September 19/1999, it served at 43 and Chestnut in a rented church.

From September 19/1999, the 6825 Green Way Avenue building was purchased and the Archbishop, Abune Zena Markos, who was the assistant of His Holiness Abune Tekle Haimanaot and His Holiness Abune Merkoreos, blessed us with service until 2004.

On October 31/2004, His Holiness Abune Isaac, who was the archbishop of the western countries, blessed the renovated main church and it is still providing services to the believers until November 18/2018. After the debt was settled and an audit was requested, the board members decided to close the church, arguing that the audit was unnecessary. For four consecutive weeks, despite our repeated requests to reopen the church, they were unable to do so.

Our ark, Amanuel and our name Debre Genet, was rented from the Indian Orthodox Tewahedo Church located at 4400 State Road, Drexel Hill, Delaware County, and was blessed by the archbishop of the diocese at the time.

Adding Kidane Mihret ark, our church has been providing services at the Indian Orthodox Tewahedo Church until January 7/2020.

Since January 7/2020, we have purchased a church in Morton City, Delaware County, Pennsylvania State 14-16 South Morton Building and are providing services.

Debre Genet Kidus Amanuel We'Kidane Mihret Ehtiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church Parish Spiritual Management Assembly is the responsible party.
