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.
Under the direction and guidance of his Eminence Archbishop Vatche Hovsepian, Primate of the Western Diocese, years of effort brought an end to the vagabond existence of our community with the completion of the 14,000 square foot Armenian Church Cultural Center. The facility was consecrated in January 1992 and includes the Alex and Marie Manoogian classrooms, Melikian Hall and the Nikit and Eleanora Ordjanian Library, all named after their benefactors. The cultural center is a gathering place not only for church services, but for social functions of the community as well.
The first gathering of Armenians in Arizona took place in 1957 with the purpose of forming a local chapter of the AGBU. On October 16, 1963 the Armenian Church of Maricopa County was formally established by a “Bishop’s Committee” assigned by His Eminence Archbishop Torkom Manoogian, then Primate. The church acquired its own site in 1982 through the donation of a two-acre land by the Hosepian family.
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
