Armenian Evangelical Church<br />
Founded in 1960 by immigrant Armenian<br />
evangelical families from the Middle East, this<br />
body is conservative doctrinally, with an evangelical,<br />
biblical emphasis. The polity <strong>of</strong> churches<br />
within the group differ with congregationalism<br />
being dominant, but there are presbyterian<br />
Armenian Evangelical churches as well. Most <strong>of</strong><br />
the local churches have joined main-line denominations.<br />
All <strong>of</strong> the remaining Armenian<br />
Evangelical (congregational or presbyterian)<br />
local churches in the United States <strong>and</strong> Canada<br />
have joined with the Armenian Evangelical<br />
Union <strong>of</strong> North America.<br />
