Hovig Bajanian – Missionary to Armenia

Hovig Bajanian has faithfully served in Canadian church ministries since 1990, including many years as a pastor-teacher. Before stepping into full-time pastoral ministry, he spent over a decade working as a mechanical designer in the aerospace industry. He holds degrees from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary and The Master’s Seminary, where he completed his Doctor of Ministry in Expository Preaching in 2018 as well as The Master of Theology (2024).

Since 2017, Hovig has been overseeing the theological review of Armenian translations of biblical resources—most notably the works of Dr. John MacArthur. His heart is rooted in expository preaching and mentoring like-minded men for faithful gospel ministry. He is passionate about training future pastors and leaders to rightly handle the Word of God and shepherd Christ’s church with integrity.

Hovig and his wife Sveta have been married since 2001 and are blessed with two children.

Their daughter graduated from The Master’s University in 2024, and their son is in his second year at the same school.

While pastoring in Canada, the Lord opened a providential door for the Bajanians to serve in Armenia with Grace Ministries International (GMI) and The Master’s Academy International (TMAI). Armenia holds a special place in their hearts—it is not only their ancestral homeland, but also the place where they first met and were later engaged. Recognizing the urgent need for sound biblical teaching and a commitment to expository preaching in Armenia, they joyfully answered the Lord’s call to serve there under the leadership of Grace Community Church and in partnership with The Mount Bible Church (Los Angeles).

Current Ministry in Armenia

Hovig is actively engaged in pastoral, preaching, and teaching ministries throughout Armenia. His work includes:

  • Training local church leaders through a TMAI-approved expository preaching program
  • Serving alongside local pastors as a fellow shepherd
  • Preaching regularly as an elder in a local church
  • Teaching God’s Word in churches across the region
  • Leading seminars and conferences for church leaders
  • Theologically verifying Armenian translations of trusted biblical resources
  • Supporting students enrolled in the TMAI/Seminary of Biblical Church Teaching (SCBT) program
