Welcome to St. Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Apostolic Church
St. Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Church of Chicago is one of the oldest communities in the Midwest. We are the Armenian Church in Chicago, however, we along with our sister parishes serve the Greater Chicagoland area communities. Our mission is to teach, proclaim and be a place of healing as we grow together in our Apostolic Faith in Christ Jesus and to sustain our Christian Armenian identity. We celebrate our long and enduring legacy, the beautiful traditions of our religious and national heritage, with Christian servitude, and with love and reverence towards our Church. This website we hope to engage families and communities, who desire to live a life centered in Christ and to become a source of inspiration for the coming generations. Though ethnically Armenian, WE WELCOME EVERYONE!!
For you to feel the genuine and inclusive characteristic of Christian worship, love, caring, hospitality, and fellowship we invite you to witness the warmth and welcoming attitude of our parish and our congregation in
person.

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Ecumenism Metro Chicago Prayer Service and Signing Ceremony follow LIVE CLICK HERE
Growing in Christian unity and the care for God’s creation, we will gather in prayer and action for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (WPCU) at St. Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Apostolic Church, 6700 W. Diversey Ave., Chicago, IL 60707 on Saturday, January 24, 2 – 4 p.m.
EMC judicatories will sign joint statements of actions following the service which are grounded in EMC’s Declaration to care, protect and preserve God’s gift of creation, for all of the earth is the Lord’s. (Psalm 24:1) . The two statements proclaim our Christian resolve to Protect Children, Grandchildren, Future Generations by Adopting Climate Change Mitigating Strategies and Protect Children, Grandchildren, Future Generations by Providing Clean, Safe Drinking Water. These statements are a clear public witness of EMC’s Declaration that “taking decisive restorative action is a moral and religious imperative.”
