Bridge to the Future

In November 2008, the Trust Committee of St. John Garabed Armenian Church of San Diego purchased approximately 14 acres of land for $2,500,000 on El Camino Real near De. Mar, California. The Trust Committee made this acquisition as an investment. Upon securing the required permits, this property will be presented to the Parish Assembly for its consideration and vote as the future site of a new church campus.

We have launched a 12-month fundraising campaign, commencing June 1, 2010.  Our goal is to raise $2 million to secure the necessary municipal, county, and state permits. For additional information, please contact Gary Takessian, Fundraising Chair, at takessiang@yahoo.com or (858) 569-6527.
