Armenia Lacrosse and the M.A.M Educational Movement have launched “Jesus, Language, Heritage,” a unique online educational program created for Armenia Lacrosse players, coaches, staff and their families around the world.

More than a history course, “Jesus, Language, Heritage” is an invitation to rediscover the spiritual and cultural foundations of Armenian identity. At the heart of the program lies a timeless question:

Who was Jesus Christ, and what does He mean to us as Armenians?

As the first nation to adopt Christianity as a state religion in 301 AD, Armenia has been shaped by its Christian faith for more than 1,700 years. That faith inspired the creation of the Armenian alphabet, gave rise to centuries of sacred architecture and music, helped preserve Armenian culture through periods of hardship, and continues to unite Armenians across the world.

Developed by M.A.M’s team of educators in Yerevan, the program consists of eight live online lessons, each lasting one hour. Its online format makes the course accessible to participants anywhere in the world.

Throughout the course, participants will explore:

• the Christian foundations of Armenian identity;

• the life and teachings of Jesus Christ;

• the meaning of Christian faith, prayer and spiritual life;

• the symbols, traditions and heritage of the Armenian Apostolic Church;

• the role Christianity has played in preserving the Armenian people, culture and values throughout history.

Today, the M.A.M Educational Movement delivers online educational programs to Armenian communities in more than 40 countries, helping thousands of Armenians strengthen their connection to their language, cultural heritage and homeland.

The initiative has been made possible through the Biblical, managerial and financial support of the Khachkar Studios team. Their commitment has helped transform this vision into a meaningful educational opportunity for Armenian families worldwide.

“Some things are simply too important to lose. Christian faith is one of them. Through this partnership, we hope to give every participant a deeper understanding of the faith that has shaped the Armenian nation for more than seventeen centuries and continues to unite Armenians across generations and continents.”

By bringing together education, faith and heritage, Armenia Lacrosse and the M.A.M Educational Movement seek to strengthen not only knowledge, but also Armenian identity—helping future generations remain deeply connected to the values and traditions that have defined the Armenian people for centuries.
