Our Mission
Our mission is to serve the physical and spiritual needs of our people both in Canada and overseas.
To fulfill this worldwide mission, we work closely with the Armenian Missionary Association of America (AMAA), to support a range of educational, evangelistic, relief, social service, church and child care ministries in many countries around the world.
Our mission and service ministry is made possible through the Grace of God and by the gifts of individuals and churches.
About Us
The Armenian Missionary Association of Canada (AMAC), is a Federally recognized charitable Association. We have received our Charitable Association Status #890624190 RC0001, on September 7, 1984.
1. AMAC’s aim is to assist our people in Armenia and the Diaspora, to grow in their
Christian life and encourage them to stand firm on the faith of their forefathers.
2. In 1991, Armenia became an independent republic and many socio-economic issues came forth. Together with the AMAA, we aim to support our brothers and sisters, to meet their spiritual and financial needs by serving them.
3. AMAC believes that a strong moral and spiritual foundation is essential in forming a good society.
4. We try to help our people improve their lives by providing financial, educational,
cultural and employment assistance. Our emphasis is on child welfare. However, other sections of society also benefit from our services.
