“Come, experience the joy of Christian fellowship through the programs and activities of our Armenian church.”

Rev. Fr. Vart Gyozalyan

Pastor's Corner

The Armenian Apostolic Church at Hye Pointe welcomes you to your New Home. The Armenian Apostolic Church at Hye Pointe is a church filled with lots of wonderful people who genuinely love God and genuinely care for one another. Our prayer and desire is that we might help point you to the love and power of God, traditions of the Armenian Church, and Armenian Heritage.

The Armenian Church at Hye Pointe is the merger of Holy Cross Armenian Apostolic Church of Lawrence, MA and St. Gregory the Illuminator Apostolic Church of Haverhill, MA. Holy Cross and St. Gregory merged in 2002 to create the first merged Armenian Apostolic Church in North America. Please know that you are always welcome! Come, experience the fullness of God’s love who desires to know, embrace and forgive us all. Come, experience the joy of Christian fellowship through the programs and activities of The Armenian Apostolic Church at Hye Pointe.

On April 22, 2017 we opened our new Family Life and Cultural Center located at 1280 Boston Road in Haverhill, MA (Rt. 125). We are in the process of building the Sanctuary for our Faithful living in Merrimack Valley. The Holy Badarak starts every Sunday at 10 am. Our Sunday and Armenian Schools start at 10:30 am and focuses on the culture and teachings of the Armenian Church. In addition, our Women’s Guild, Men’s Club, ACYOA and Choir are an important part of our spiritual community. After church services, our congregation meets for fellowship hour in the true spirit of Christian community.
