FUTURE PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
Department of the Youth Ministry and Christian Education
The Diocese of the Armenian Church of Canada, under the auspices of His
Eminence Bishop Bagrat Galstanian, Primate established the Department of
Youth Ministry and Christian Education to serve the Armenian Apostolic
Youth throughout Canada in a holistic and Christ-centered manner.
In May 2007, upon the recommendation of the Clergy Conference, the
Diocesan Annual Assembly resolved to dedicate the coming year, to the
youth of our community in Canada, and adopted the theme "The Armenian
Church, Home for the Youth."
Reverend Father Myron Sarkissian has been appointed director of the newly
established, Department of the Youth Ministry and Christian Education.
This new department is recognized as a core mission of the Mother Church
and one of the highest priorities for the Canadian Diocese. Our Primate
has consistently challenged the Youth to seek new and innovative means to
reach out to the members of the families of the Canadian Diocese, and has
offered continued support and resources for their use. The mission of
Youth Ministry and Christian Education brings young people and adults
together as a community of God’s people.
