Ararat Armenian Congregational Church
For many years, Armenians had wanted to have sermons in their own language in the United States. One day, they expressed their wish to the pastor of the Congregational Church of Lawrence Street, Rev. Volkat.
The community grew rapidly in number because of new immigrants from the Old Country. Many Armenian Protestants gathered in the town of Salem, New Hampshire.
Rev. Tavit Pakhchoyan of Van—1918-1920.
Rev. Markar Der Asadourian—1920-1921.
Rev. Vahan Tamzarian of Kharpert, who was named the Father of the Community for his exceptional kindness—1921-1925.
Rev. Yeprem Jernazian of Marash, a very enthusiastic preacher under whom was built the parsonage—1925-1926.
