Ararat Armenian Congregational Church

The Ararat Armenian Congregational Church is an Armenian Evangelical church in Salem, New Hampshire, United States.

Prior to the establishment of the Ararat Armenian Congregational Church, the Bethel Armenian Congregational Church in Lawrence, Massachusetts, a mission of the Lawrence Street Congregational Church,[1] served as the primary place of worship for the area's Armenian community.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, several Armenian families, many refugees fleeing the Ottoman Empire, began to settle in Salem, New Hampshire.

[2] The church was built on land provided by the Northeastern Street Railway Company, and construction was completed within a year.

[3] Services were originally conducted in Armenian, but are currently led in English.
