Holy Badarak · Every Other Sunday · 2:00 PM
Plan Your VisitWe are the Armenian Apostolic parish that High Desert families rely on for the Holy Badarak, feast-day traditions, and a warm community table. From our first gatherings to the parish family we are today, this church has been a home for worship, culture, and fellowship.
Whether you were baptized in the Armenian Church or are visiting for the first time, there is a place for you here. Come for the Divine Liturgy, stay for the coffee and conversation.
The khachkar, the carved cross-stone, is the signature of Armenian faith: a blossoming cross woven with patterns of eternity, cut by hand into living rock. For over seventeen centuries, since Armenia became the first Christian nation in 301 AD, these stones have marked the places where faith took root.
Our parish carries that same tradition to the High Desert: ancient in worship, enduring in spirit, and open to every generation that comes after us.
His Eminence has shepherded the Western Diocese with wisdom and devotion, guiding parishes across the region in faith and service.
