The Armenian Protestant Community in Syria is sustained through historic congregations that have preserved worship, biblical teaching, pastoral care, and community stability across generations. These churches reflect the continuity of Armenian Protestant witness across Syria.
Aleppo
Armenian Evangelical Bethel Church
A central congregation of Armenian Protestant life in Aleppo.
Established in the 1930s with roots connected to the Marash Armenian Evangelical community, Bethel Church has served as a primary place of worship, fellowship, and pastoral care for Armenian families in Aleppo.
Through years of conflict and economic instability, the congregation has maintained continuity of worship, congregational support, and spiritual formation.
Today the congregation is led by Rev. Haroutune Selimian, with congregational life expressed through regular worship, biblical teaching, pastoral visitation, and ministries supporting families across generations.
Aleppo
Armenian Evangelical Emmanuel Church
One of the oldest Armenian Evangelical congregations in Aleppo.
Founded in 1852, Emmanuel Church represents a historic pillar of Armenian Protestant presence in Aleppo. Its current sanctuary, erected in 1923, remains an enduring Protestant landmark in the city.
During the Syrian conflict the church sustained damage, but it has since been restored and continues to support worship, Christian formation, and congregational fellowship within the Armenian Protestant community.
Aleppo
Martyrs’ Church (Nahadagatz)
A congregation established in remembrance and sustained through ministry.
Located in the Suleimaniyeh quarter of Aleppo, Martyrs’ Church was formally established in 1931 by members of the former Hayik congregation.
Named in remembrance of Armenian martyrs of the early twentieth century, the church has served in worship, Christian formation, and community support initiatives across decades.
Aleppo
