The earliest families of the church included the Keuhnelians, Diradourians, Mukhalians, and Hovsepians, and the first search committee was composed of Mihran Kassabian, Dr. Dicran Kabakjian, Aghavni Kabakjian, Roupen Mahjoubian, and Armenag Mahjoubian. The first pastor, Marsovan native Rev. Haig Yardumian, came to the church from the Armenian Evangelical Church in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.[1]

At the church's centennial celebration on December 2, 2007, several previous pastors were honored, including Rev. Hovhannes Karjian, Rev. Jirair Sogomian, Rev. Dr. Peter Doghramji, and Rev. Gary Schongalla-Bowman. Rev. Dr. Soghomon Nuyujukian was named Pastor Emeritus on that occasion.[1]

Until 2018, the pastor was the Rev. L. Nishan Bakalian, who prior to his ministries in Lebanon was married in (1980) and ordained at (1984) AMCC. He began serving in 2007. He resigned his position in 2017 to continue his ministries in Beirut. The church is searching for a new pastor, and the interim pastor is Rev. Edward Livingston.
