St Andrew Armenian Church

About this church

St. Andrew Armenian Apostolic Church celebrates Sunday Badarak, or Divine Liturgy, from 10:30 a.m. to noon on South Stelling Road in Cupertino. The parish belongs to the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church and is affiliated with the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. Worship carries the sacramental, musical, and liturgical inheritance of Armenian Christianity, while the parish calendar identifies current services and community events. The regular Sunday hour is consistent and tied to the Cupertino location, avoiding confusion with other St. Andrew congregations in the Bay Area.

The local Armenian community began monthly prayer services in 1960, celebrated its first Santa Clara Valley Divine Liturgy in January 1961, and formally enrolled charter members in 1964. It purchased the Stelling Road property in 1973, adopted the St. Andrew name in 1984, celebrated its first Easter Badarak in the new church in 1990, and formally consecrated the building in 1992. Parish organizations now include Armenian schools, Sunday School, ACYO youth, Mommy & Me, a Ladies Society, social and cultural groups, and stewardship. For Armenian families, the church functions as both a worshiping parish and a center of language and cultural continuity; for newcomers, the Sunday Badarak offers the clearest introduction to that combined spiritual and communal life.
