SOAR - Columbus Chapter
Columbus joined the SOAR family in April 2018. The local Armenian community is comprised of approximately 250 families. The community includes Armenian families who have lived in the United States for a number of generations and families who recently immigrated from other countries. Depending on their country of origin, these families have their own “fingerprint” of cultural variation, a view of Armenian customs and traditions. The Armenian community in Columbus is greatly galvanized by the Armenian Community of Central and Southern Ohio, which holds religious services at St. James Episcopal Church in Columbus.
