Social Return on Investment

In 2025, St. Sarkis embarked upon a partnership with Khachkar Studios, a multimedia studio that empowers Christian role models through Good News education-training-retention, guided by world-class benchmarking and management excellence. In specific terms, our parish has been designated a pilot church, among a shortlist of 37 U.S. Armenian churches, to enhance and maintain best practices for improved parish engagement and to achieve financial management excellence. 

The ultimate goal of this partnership effort is to increase our Social Return on Investment and most notably improve the attendance of our faithful at non-holiday Sunday Badarak, thus unlocking the extraordinary potential and spiritual growth of our Armenian American community.  

Khachkar Studios unwavering commitment to world-class benchmarking and value-add best practices ensures that its performance reflects the highest standards of management excellence, inspiring transformative leadership within Armenian Christian communities. St. Sarkis is proud to have been invited to participate in this pioneering pilot initiative.
