The Council’s work

Council members form a team dedicated to maintaining the church as a center of Christian worship, teaching, fellowship, and service—a place where Armenian Christians receive spiritual solace, strength, joy, hope, and forgiveness.

The pastor bears responsibility for the parish's spiritual and Armenian Christian education; the Parish Council supports that ministry while overseeing the parish's temporal affairs and assisting in the work of administration.
