We would like to welcome you to St. Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Apostolic Church located in Granite City, Illinois. Our forefathers established the Church in 1954 purchasing a former Bulgarian Church which served as our spiritual home until 1997. In October 1997, His Holiness Catholicos Aram I consecrated the current St. Gregory Church that is located at 1014 W. Pontoon Road in Granite City. Our parishioner and member base stretches across the entire Metro St. Louis area and we welcome all to worship with us. Adjacent to the Church is St. Gregory Armenian Community Center which sits on 5 acres and was opened in 1986.

The Community Center is one of the nicest banquet halls in the area and we take pride in that fact.

We invite you to worship with us on Sundays, or join us for community events.

Please contact the Church office at (618) 451-7884 with any questions or information you require. The Community Center number is (618) 452-1915.
