Parish Council Mission

Mission Statement

The mission of the St. Sarkis Parish Council is to strengthen and enrich the Christian faith of our community for the glory and honor of God. It is our goal to responsibly represent our church members and assist our pastor in addressing their needs. It is our vision to advocate the various parish lay ministries and serve as a liaison between those ministries and our parishioners. This includes:   
 
  1. Coordinating and maintaining all scheduled events via a master parish calendar
  2. Assisting in the development of parishioner involvement with the various ministries
  3. Serving as a clearing house for communication between the ministries and each parish member
  4. Maintaining regular communication with ministry leaders to address problems and concerns facing each ministry


To be elected a Parish Council member is a great honor which carries with it a great responsibility. Paris council members work long hours and possess unlimited devotion and love to the Armenian Church. It must be said, without hesitation, that our church has been very fortunate in finding eminently qualified, conscientious and devoted men and women to serve on the Parish Council. These individuals, together with a large number of other lay parishioners, have made our church grow from a dream to a glorious reality.
