Organization Name: Armenian Congregational Church
Organization Overview: The Armenian Congregational Church of Detroit was started in 1913, when Armenian survivors of the Turkish persecution first began to settle in the Detroit area. The Armenian Congregational Church was born, thanks, in large part to the pioneering efforts of several clergymen. These volunteers, mainly pastors and teachers, conducted Armenian Evangelical services in Detroit, and it was in 1917 that regular Sunday Worship services started.
In 1920, the Armenian Congregational Church was formed into a church with 22 communicant members. Two years later, in 1922, the Armenian Congregational Church in the city of Detroit was incorporated with 42 Charter members.
In 1925 the church building on the corner of Hamilton and Collingwood Avenue was purchased with the adjacent lot and parish house.
In 1931 the Sunday school was organized both with a children’s department and an adult class. The “Church Bulletin” (in Armenian) was also started at this time.
It was the year 1945 the Christian Endeavor was re-organized, and the Young Adults group was formed.
As the church grew its Hamilton building became inadequate for the needs of the congregation. This led to the purchase of the church edifice at Twelfth and Davison in 1951. The parking lot adjacent to the church was acquired in 1953, and in 1959 the Sunday School Extension was completed.
Soon times changed again, as did the needs of the congregation with the great movement of Armenians to the suburbs. It became evident that the church needed to move again, and in 1967 the groundbreaking ceremonies of the present church building at Twelve Mile Road, in Southfield, were held and the building of the church was started.
In the early 1970s the Christian Education needs of the congregation led to the conversion of one third of the fellowship hall into Sunday school classrooms, and the remaining hall was later expanded with stage and new kitchen facilities. It was also during this time that the church was able to pay off the remainder of its mortgage and be debt free.
Early in 1997, the Armenian Christian Education Center was completed and dedicated, and the “Marderus Kadian Educational Fund” was established.
In the many years of this church’s existence many changes have taken place, but one thing has never changed, and that is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Organization Name: Armenian Genocide Centennial Committee of Greater Detroit
Organization Overview: Born out of reverent remembrance and continuing advocacy for a yet unpunished crime against humanity, the Armenian Genocide Centennial Committee of Greater Detroit was formed to organize commemorative events throughout 2015 for the Centennial Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Comprised of over 15 of Greater Detroit’s leading Armenian-American organizations, the committee’s goals include:
Honoring, through commemorative events, the memory of the 1.5 million Armenian victims who were systematically murdered by the Ottoman Turkish authorities in the first Genocide of the 20th Century.
Demand universal recognition of the Armenian Genocide, reparations from the perpetrators’ legal successors (the Republic of Turkey), and restoration to the legal owners of all Armenian historic lands, churches and institutions.
Increase public awareness of the Armenian Genocide in particular, as well as all other genocides.
A 100 year-old crime against humanity that remains unpunished
In 1915, the Ottoman Turkish government systematically, and with determination, exterminated the indigenous Armenian people on their historic homeland -- what is today the Republic of Turkey. It began on April 24, 1915, when Armenian leaders were rounded up by the Ottoman Turkish authorities and publicly executed, and continued for eight years. This methodical murdering of a nation included the killing of the male population, use of labor camps, death marches of women and children across the Syrian Desert, and the re-population of non-Armenians on historic Armenian lands. Please visit www.theforgotten.org for more information.
In 2015, local, national, and international events will take place to remember the 1.5 million Armenian victims and to demand that justice be served for this crime against humanity.
