Short Description

One Day. One Lesson. One Prayer. With this simple rhythm we want to revive our faith, strengthen the bond with the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church, and make our nation kinder, more united, more forgiving, and closer to God.

Today thousands of Armenians in Armenia and the Diaspora are cut off from their spiritual roots. They do not attend church, do not read the Bible, do not pray, and often feel emptiness. ArmChurch was born to help restore that connection.

Impact

So far, the app has 4,500 registered users who express their satisfaction with the creation of the app and the opportunity it gives many to be closer to Jesus Christ.

ArmChurch helps strengthen faith, connect with the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church, and become an important part of the path of spiritual growth within the community.

One day. One lesson. One prayer. And together we draw closer to God.

• The Bible – accessible every day in a gamified and simple way
• Prayer from saints and holy fathers
• Daily habits that gradually make us kinder and more loving people
• Connection with priests and the Church, no matter where we are
• A community where we join like-minded Armenians around the world, learn through play, ask and receive answers
• We learn about and participate in various community events and bring our contribution to Church and community life

The Problem

Our people are facing serious trials. Distrust, division, and discouragement are widespread. This is not only a social problem; it is a spiritual decline. When we lose the living chain of faith, we also lose the unity of our nation.
