Missions / Outreach
We actively support the ministries of the Armenian Missionary Association of America (AMAA) and the individual missionaries listed below.
We collect canned goods and nonperishable food for a local homeless shelter and a local food bank.
Twice a year we prepare, deliver and serve a meal to the homeless shelter at Old First Church in Philadelphia.
During the year we collect used bicycles for New Covenant Ministries. Bicycles are refurbished and distributed in Camden neighborhoods on Christmas Eve morning. Bikes may be brought to the church anytime.
Armenian – The Blessing
This prayer of blessing project was published on September 21, 2020, the 29th anniversary of the Independence of Armenia and is dedicated to: soldiers guarding the borders of Armenia; the people who are suffering from the devastating explosion in Beirut; to those who have been struggling with the surge of COVID-19 in Syria; and to all the Armenians scattered around the world.
