Despite the ongoing pandemic, an Armenian congregation in Glendale, California, United States, made history in 2021. According to church leaders, it is the first Armenian-speaking Seventh-day Adventist congregation officially organized as a company in the Western hemisphere.
The congregation is in the region of Los Angeles, home to the densest population of Armenians in the United States. According to one estimate, more than 40 percent of the 200,000-plus people in Glendale claim Armenian ancestry.
“Adventist churches in our conference reflect the amazing diversity of Southern California,” Danny Chan, Southern California Conference (SCC) Los Angeles Metro Region director, observed.
