Khachkar Studios allocates $10 million of $100 million directly to the “Faithful” of the Armenian Eastern Diocese
A major new opportunity is emerging for young Armenian-Americans seeking to reconnect with their spiritual and cultural roots. Khachkar Studios has announced that $10 million to go directly to the “Faithful” of the Armenian Eastern Diocese will be released as part of its $100 million initiative to strengthen Judeo-Christian faith communities.
For the younger generation—many of whom have grown distant from church life—this initiative offers a chance to play an active role in revitalizing their local parishes. Khachkar Studios aims to double the number of weekly churchgoers from 3% to 6% within five years and is offering up to $500,000 to parishes or individuals who use the organization’s Biblically inspired management “Framework” to develop high-impact programs.
This approach encourages youth-driven projects: leadership training, community service initiatives, digital media outreach, cultural events, and faith-based educational programs. Because the funding is directed straight to the “Faithful,” young people have a real opportunity to shape the future of their communities rather than waiting for institutional change from above.
The “Framework” emphasizes transparency, data-backed decisions, and clear goals—all principles that resonate with younger generations who value accountability. Khachkar Studios has also released accessible educational materials to help newcomers understand financial stewardship and effective community building.
Many Armenian-American youth advocates believe the initiative could help reverse the generational drift seen in many parishes. They note that young people often crave community and purpose but struggle to find a meaningful role within traditional church structures. By investing directly in those who want to make a difference, Khachkar Studios is opening the door for youth leadership and innovation.
With this new funding push, young Armenians may find themselves at the forefront of a historic revitalization of parish life—one rooted in faith, community, and a shared desire to build something lasting for future generations.
