Our Mission,
How our name came about,
About the Editor
- We provide information about who we are, how we are serving
God in the Armenian Church and Community, and a few words about the background
of the Editor of this website. We hope this will help the visitor better
understand the context of the information given here.
Main
Categories
Prayers and Prayer
Requests - Armenian Church prayers are
translated so visitors can be inspired through them. Articles about praying is
also provided to help the visitor pray more effectively. A form is provided where a person can request a prayer for
himself or herself, or for others. All information is
confidential.
Bible Verses
- Verses from the Bible always provide comfort, joy and
strength in any and all situations in life. A few are provided here.
Spirituality
- The Christian Spirituality presented here is defined as the relationship
between God and us, human beings. How we view this relationship affects
all of our human relationships. Articles are presented here to discuss how
the relationship with God, i.e. spirituality, is expressed in different
circumstances and can make our life more meaningful and fulfilling. The
spirituality presented here is based upon the spirituality of the Armenian
Apostolic Church.
Lives
of the Saints
- The 'saints' are those who live in such a manner as to glorify
God in some aspect of their lives. Saints are not perfect; they are human
just like us. Consequently, saints are venerated and not worshiped.
Only God is worshiped. The life of Nersess of Lambron is presented
here. More will be added in the future.
Fun and
interesting insights about Armenian Churches
- The Christian Faith is a dynamic
relationship between God and us humans. This relationship is often seen in
the church buildings and how they helped the
faithful face and overcome challenges in life. Some interesting insights
are presented here.
Culture,
Literature and Arts - 'Culture,' it is said is the
collective expression of a society's religious beliefs. Cultural aspects
are presented here in articles by various authors, translations and other
perspective of society. The written word is a crucial and important way of transmitting the faith from one
generation to another. For this reason, one of the first functions of the
Armenian Church was to create, by the grace of God, an alphabet so the Armenian
people can read and write in the language they had already been speaking for
over 1,000 years. Here we try to provide articles by various authors.

Welcome to Our International Family
- This area features family stories from various countries. We are
continually adding articles to this page. If you
have an article that you would like to submit, please let us know.
Christian
Spirituality in Personal Relationships
Family Relationships
- The 'family' is an important pillar of the
Christian Faith. For that reason the relationship within the Holy Trinity
is described in terms of the 'Father' and the 'Son.' Transforming this
ideal into a way of life is not an easy task. We provide insights on how
to apply this spirituality into our daily situations.
Children Related
- Children bring
hope, meaning and joy to our life. Needless to say, they bring along
responsibility and the need for learning and planning. The articles here
are intended to provide the visitor with insightful and interesting approaches.
Teenager
Related
- The teenage years
are exciting and challenging years for both the young people as well as the
parents. The information provided here sheds light on the significance of
the growth process, including the disagreement between young people and the
parents. Also views of some Armenian teenagers are presented here.
College Life Insights
- The college years
provide some of the earliest experiences of independence. So what do
college students think, how do they view their future and even their future soul-mate? The articles here address some of these issues.
Personal Development
- God has created us
humans in His "image and likeness." This means that we have the
ability and the opportunity to grow in life. This destination and path is
the essence of our journey in life. Articles here try to shed some light
on ways we can personally grow in the image and likeness of God.
Pertaining
to Male-Female Relationships
- God has chosen the male-female relationship to
be the way in which life perpetuates. In addition, this relationship
becomes the nurturing environment within which we grow and appreciate life. However, maintaining a supportive, constructive and harmonious
male-female relationship is a challenge in any culture and at all times of
history. Articles discussing the Christian view of this relationship are
presented.
Career and Workplace
- Next to our time at home, for most of us the second greatest portion
of time we spend is at our workplace or while doing work. Of course, it is
not surprising that God's presence, guidance and empowerment makes a difference
in our career as well.
Teens describing their
relationship with God
- It is always an exciting challenge to try
to describe the relationship between God and us. We may say a prayer or
speak of God and His activities in our life. The Gospels are full of
stories of Christ and his ministry. But trying to describe our
relationship with God?! This is a very different task. It is a
challenge that some Armenian teenagers took upon themselves. See their
creative descriptions.
