Protestant Missionaries in Armenia

Protestant missionaries in Armenia were individuals from Western Christian denominations who came to Armenia, primarily in the 19th and early 20th centuries, to share their religious beliefs, establish churches, schools, and healthcare facilities. They aimed to promote Protestant Christianity, provide social services, and support local communities. Their efforts often intertwined spiritual outreach with educational and humanitarian work, influencing local religious landscapes and sometimes fostering cultural exchanges. While their presence was sometimes viewed with suspicion or hostility, they contributed to the development of modern educational and medical infrastructure in Armenia.
