The Armenian Evangelical Church of New York, the oldest Armenian institution in the New York metropolitan area, was founded in 1896. It is located at 152 East 34th Street, in Manhattan, New York City. Rev. H.H. Khazoyan was the first pastor of the church. Services were initially conducted at the Adams Memorial Presbyterian Church, but in 1923, a church building on 34th Street, its current location, was acquired. Rev. Antranig Bedikian served the church for nearly 40 years (1915-1953). The current pastor is Rev. Haig Kherlopian.
