​​BAPTISM
Մկրտութիւն

Baptism is a second birth from the baptismal font through the Holy Spirit. Baptism is a Sacrament in the Armenian Church and we believe that the baptized becomes a Christian and a living member of His body, the Church. In Baptism we receive a new life and the work of salvation freely given to us as a gift from our Lord Jesus Christ. 
   
​We would like to pray for you, if you or your family member(s) consider being baptized in the Armenian Church and we would accompany you in the journey of your preparation to this step and afterwards in your faith life. Baptism also means joining the community of faith, our community! 

WEDDING
Պսակ

Wedding (marriage) is a Sacrament in the Armenian Church. God unites the couple through the marriage and they become one flesh, one mind and one spirit for the rest of their lives. We believe that marriage is permanent and blessed by God by being fruitful, in having and raising children who will become the potential members of the Church. But the ultimate purpose of marriage is love, the self-giving and the self-emptying love, that finds its true purpose in serving the other-half, with respect and care. 
 
We would like to pray for you, if you consider marrying in the Armenian Church. Before the wedding ceremony, you will be asked to go through pre-marital counseling sessions, where you will be introduced and learn the broader meaning of marriage and practical skills to have a great married life!
