Glendale Armenian Church of the Nazarene

Rev. Serop Megerditchian

Senior Pastor

At Glendale Armenian Church of the Nazarene, we want people to feel at home. You will find that we are a warm group of people dedicated to following our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are a diverse group with members from different parts of the world, but most importantly, we are family. Our church was formed to be a community where we love, encourage, and support one another.

We are Vasken and Tveen Verano, and we have served as the GNAZ youth leaders since 2016.  We have three kids, Emma, Lily, and Alex.  Our mission is to lead our Youth towards Jesus Christ and the Word of God.  If you are in high school, college or career, we invite you to connect with us and join our Church Family!

I am originally from Boston, and I moved to California in 2021 after marrying my husband Andy, who has been a member of this church since he was young.  I grew up in church and Sunday School, and am excited to be leading the next generation with our fantastic Sunday School teachers!

We are Christian and Lara Manoukian, and we are the Sunday School teachers at Glendale Armenian Church of the Nazarene for the middle school, high school, and young adults group. We would love to see you on Sunday mornings from 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.

My family and I have been part of the Glendale Armenian Church of the Nazarene since 2006 and we are blessed to worship here.   Our adults Sunday School, Faithful Followers, meets every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and we invite you to join us in learning God’s Word.

I am responsible for Nazarene Missions International. We emphasize missions work & outreach within the greater Armenian community. We have served with the Armenian Missionary Association of America, as well as within our local homeless shelters serving food.
