{{На английском|The Armenian Apostolic Church of Arizona located in northeast Scottsdale, is a small but growing parish that serves the entire state of Arizona. The largest concentration of Armenians who sought out this thriving desert oasis, settled in the Phoenix metro area and Tucson, arriving from other cities in the United States as well as from overseas.
The earliest of these settlers held the first community gathering in 1957 and met on a monthly basis for a number of years. Then in 1963, the first Divine Liturgy was celebrated by the Primate of the Western Diocese, Archbishop Torkom Manoogian (now the Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem). "The Armenian Church of Maricopa County" was legally incorporated in the State of Arizona on October 16, 1963. During his visits to Arizona, Archbishop Manoogian established a “Bishop’s Committee” to pursue the formal establishment of a Church in Arizona.
The parish has relied upon the assistance and counsel of dedicated visiting clergy including the late Archpriest Fr. Levon Arakelian and Archpriest Fr. Shahe Altounian, among others.
Currently the parish has undertaken a three-year plan to build a church sanctuary. Under the leadership of the Building Committee chaired by Marlene Imirzian and the Fundraising Committee chaired by Donna Sirounian, construction will begin within the next two years.Armenian Church of Scottsdale .}}
