Zohrab Sarkissian, was born in Aleppo, Syria. After completing his education at a local Armenian high school, he attended the American University of Beirut, in Lebanon, where he co-founded the Lebanese Armenian Heritage Club and earned his Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in 2002.

​

In 2003, he relocated to Montréal, where he obtained a Graduate Diploma in Management from McGill University and took on a leadership role as president of the McGill Armenian Student Association.

​

Five years later, he moved to Toronto, where he actively engaged with the Armenian community, serving a two-year term as president of the Armenian Youth Federation of Canada, and later as president of the Armenian National Committee of Toronto. Sarkisian's Christian foundation was firmly established in the Armenian Orthodox Church.

​

Sarkisian’s spiritual journey took a significant turn on September 20, 2018, when he heard an audible voice from heaven urging him to “speak about Jesus” to a Hindu stranger. This transformative encounter marked his spiritual rebirth.

​

In 2019, he commenced his studies at Tyndale University and, from 2020 to 2023, he served on the Tyndale Seminary Student Council and participated in Tyndale’s Academic Senate for two years. During the 2024 academic year, he completed his internship in pastoral ministry within Tyndale’s Student Development department.

​

Pastor Sarkissian is an AEUNA In-care student and will receive his Master of Divinity degree, majoring in Pastoral Studies with a concentration in Theological Studies, from Tyndale University on May 24, 2025.

 

For the past five years, he has been a lay preacher and worship leader in the Armenian Evangelical Church of Toronto, and he became the Intern-Pastor in September 2024. Additionally, he serves on the Armenian Missionary Association of Canada board.
