The Armenian Missionary Association of America (AMAA) was created by the Armenian Evangelical Church on June 7, 1918 in Worcester, Massachusetts.
The AMAA’s purpose is to pronounce in word and deed the love of Christ to the Armenian people and thus encourage them in the keeping of their faith, culture and national identity.
Immediately after the devastating earthquake of 1988 in Armenia, the AMAA, just as the whole world, worked tirelessly to relieve the pain of those affected by the earthquake by providing food, clothing, medicine, and medical equipment.
In 1991, after the independence of Armenia and following the registration of the AMAA in Armenia, AMAA Armenia headquarter opened in Yerevan.
Some time later, the AMAA determined the main areas of its activity in Armenia and Artsakh.
Currently the AMAA operates from dozens of offices in various regions of the Republic of Armenia and Artsakh.
