Welcome to the Sunday School of Armenian Church of Our Saviour. We help our children strengthen their connection with Christ and grow their faith in God as they continue their journey in life.

EVERY SUNDAY the students will join Soorp Badarak to receive Holy Communion then will resume back to their Sunday School activities. 

 SERVING ON THE ALTAR & CHOIR: students who would like to serve on the Altar & the choir are welcome to alternate between the Sunday School and serving during Badarak. They may attend Sunday School one Sunday and serve at Church the following Sunday. 
FAMILY SUNDAYS: This year our calendar will consist of FAMILY SUNDAY on the first Sunday of every month where our children besides various activities will have a  very special children’s sermon given specifically to them by Der Tadeos. We encourage all the parents to attend the family Sunday with their children. 

OUTREACH SUNDAYS; The fourth Sunday of each month there will be an Outreach Sunday ministry at Our Saviour where we will perform community services for a local community. Our children will participate and serve with our community. More to come on this. 

This year promises an increase in crafts, learning about our Armenian culture and incorporating a lot of fun in our program. Every room will have a Smart TV for the teachers to use to incorporate programs into their lessons.  We want your/our children to grow their faith in GOD.

Deacons’ Training Program

Ages 14+
Friday, June 24- Sunday, July 3
Directors: Dn. Ari Terjanian and Dn. Alex

All altar servers, ages 14+, are invited to learn how to participate in the liturgical services of the Armenian Church. Through practical workshops and interactive classes, a team of seminary faculty, priests, deacons, and other specialists will teach participants the deacons’ chants of the Divine Liturgy and other services. Students who complete the program return to their home parishes with polished liturgical skills, a deeper understanding of the church’s worship services, a stronger faith, and a strong network. Beginners with little or no previous experience focus on the deacons’ chants and rituals of the Divine Liturgy, while advanced students concentrate on learning additional church services.
