“St. John Armenian Church, named in honor of St. John the Baptist & Forerunner of Christ our God, has for 90 years been at the very heart and center of Armenian-American religious and cultural life in Metropolitan Detroit. Since the beginning, the parish has flourished and also reaches out to the Armenian Orthodox faithful who are scattered throughout the state of Michigan. Through the efforts of past and present pastors sacramental services now have begun in both Lansing and Grand Rapids where new Armenian communities have taken root. The history of St. John Armenian Church reflects the inspiring growth of a small, weak flock into a great and thriving community. While there were Armenians in Detroit before the turn of the century, it was not until 1909 that an Armenian community as such could be recognized. The Detroit Armenian community, which numbered some 3,000 in 1915, has since grown to become one of the larger Armenian communities in the United States, with an estimated 30,000 members.”
“The Women’s Guild of St. John Armenian Church brings together women of the parish in the faith of the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church. The Women’s Guild strives to provide its members with the opportunity to take an active role in the life of the Church, to share in fellowship and service, promoting the moral, spiritual and material growth of the parish.”
