Khachkar Studios unveils a new world-class template for U.S. Armenian churches’ annual financial transparency
A paradigm-shifting initiative launched by Khachkar Studios is poised to transform how U.S. Armenian churches approach financial accountability, introducing methodologies that challenge fundamental assumptions about institutional health and community engagement.
On May 1, 2026, Khachkar Studios released a comprehensive 23-page template grounded in transparency, accountability and performance (T•A•P), supporting Biblically inspired world-class benchmarking and management excellence, the “Framework.” This framework represents a systematic response to highly destructive, massive systemic misconceptions that have shaped current practices.
The template delivers four vital components: church attendance data analysis, financial profile development, the “Framework” and T•A•P principles, and pilot candidate resources. Saints Sahag and Mesrob Armenian Apostolic Church in Providence, Rhode Island, served as the foundation for this independent analysis, creating a model designed for widespread adoption.
Financial transparency builds trust and confidence across religious, government and business sectors in the U.S., and the Armenian religious sector benefits equally from these proven principles.
Khachkar Studios invites senior leaders and individual church members of all faiths who are passionate about T•A•P and the “Framework” to engage in 30-minute Zoom sessions. These interactive sessions take place Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 12:00 p.m. EDT (09:00 a.m. PDT). Those interested should email tap@khachkarstudios.com with their preferred session dates. Selected participants who complete the sessions successfully will receive an honorarium ranging from $100 to $1,000.
This initiative embodies Khachkar Studios’ commitment to empowering the Judeo-Christian “Faithful.” Complete materials, including video, presentation slides and podcasts, are available at www.khachkarstudios.com.
“Financial transparency ” = way for zionists in the US to control what goes on here.
Dont be fooled – the road to hell is paved with “good intentions”
Yelling “corruption” brought the zionist/jewish backed nikol, which led to loss of Artsakh…
I do wonder if the Jewish lobby has infiltrated Khachkar Studios? It frequently emphasizes “Judeo-Christianity” these days, even more so than emphasizing the rejuvenation of the Armenian Apostolic Church in the United States, which is supposed to be the actual purpose of this organization’s existense. It seems that this organization is compromised. I wonder if other Armenian organizations across the United States are infiltrated and compromised by Israel?
Israel is unleashing 1,000 Christian pastors in the USA to sway Americans toward Israel because they are losing their political narrative. I don’t know what Khachkar’s true intent is, but no amount of money, methodologies, algorithms, or science experiments are going to fill Armenian church pews. Only faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, who died on the cross for our sins, and saved us by His grace and with His blood will move Armenians back to church.
Waste of money. We love repeating that we are the “first Christian nation” yet our church attendance is abysmal except for high holy days of Easter and Christmas. No amount of money, methodology or algorythm is going to increase Armenian church attendance. We either believe 100% in our hearts that Jesus Christ lived, died, rose again to save humanity from its sins, and we worship Him as our Lord and Savior every week by attending church, reading the Bible, and sharing the Gospel, or we don’t. We like everything ABOUT the church and Christianity, but we refuse to step foot inside the church, open and read the Bible, and speak to each other with brotherly and sisterly Christ-filled love. Every Armenian school has a church attached to it, yet the students don’t step foot in it to read the Bible and learn about Jesus Christ. Until these things happen, Armenians are religious hypocrites and fake “cultural Christians”.
However, this trend is not unique to the Armenian diaspora. Rising irreligion, steadily decreasing church attendance and membership, is a feature of practically every predominantly Christian diaspora, and of the Western World in general. Contrary to widespread popular belief, the same trend is also occuring in Jewish diasporas across the world and even in predominantly Muslim diasporas in the Western World. The question is, how do you attract Armenian lapsed members and non-members to the Armenian Apostolic Church, without criticising, stigmatising and alienating them?
Unfortunately, you need to take pot shots at Armenians for being hypocritical Christians. Most believe that they are “Christian” as soon as they are born and baptised which is ridiculous and untrue. What does a two month old baby know about Jesus, Christianity, and salvation through faith in Christ? Just because you got dunked in a bathtub with prayers chanted over you and holy oil rubbed on you does not mean you are saved. We always say SEE YOU NEXT YEAR! to the hordes of Armenians who attend church on Easter and Christmas because that’s the next time you will ever see them again.
