Description: The first Sunday services of the Armenian Evangelical Church were held on November 14, 1896 at the Adams Memorial Presbyterian Church on East Thirtieth Street. Rev. H. H. Khazoyan, who had just arrived from Turkey for theological studies, led the initial organization of the church and thereafter became the first pastor. While there were a few Armenians in New York City at the time, the persecutions and massacres of Armenians in Turkey that had begun in 1895 had started bringing increasing numbers of Armenians to America. Eager to continue their religious life in their new homeland, Armenians flocked to the new Church.
