These churches emphasize practical teaching, kids’ programs, and small groups that gather in apartments and townhomes near the G Line’s Van Nuys station.

Armenian & Orthodox Churches

Van Nuys and adjacent Valley Glen host Armenian Apostolic and other Eastern Orthodox congregations centered on ancient liturgy, incense, and choral chant. Many offer services and classes in Armenian and English, anchoring cultural life for families with roots across the San Fernando Valley and along the Sherman Way corridor.
