Khachkar Studios releases Masterclass #3: Revitalizing churches worldwide 22.08.2026

Armenian Weekly

Khachkar Studios has released Masterclass #3, titled "Revitalizing Churches Worldwide," which is based on the case study "Armenian Churches Joining the Movement." The program offers a candid assessment of the current state of Armenian Christianity and outlines necessary changes to reverse declining engagement. A striking statistic highlighted in the course reveals that on an average non-holiday Sunday, only 7 out of every 1,000 U.S. Armenian women aged 18-29 attend church, equating to just 246 women, while 34,181 remain absent. This places U.S. Armenian churches 22nd out of 23 Orthodox Christian groups studied for attendance. The masterclass is designed to provide insights and actionable strategies for church leaders and community members to revitalize their congregations. It addresses the broader challenges facing Armenian churches worldwide, emphasizing the need for a concerted effort to engage younger generations and foster a renewed sense of community and faith. The release of this masterclass underscores the urgency of addressing these trends to ensure the vitality and sustainability of Armenian Christian communities.
