My name is Yara Arnouk, and I am a proud member of St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church in Upland, California. In August 2025, I was blessed to marry my wonderful husband, Chris Ajalat. We currently reside in Glendora, where I have the privilege of practicing dentistry alongside my parents and sisters at our family dental office.
Throughout the years, I have been actively involved in the Antiochian Orthodox Church, serving in various capacities. I began as a member of the church choir and later served as Teen SOYO President at St. Nicholas Cathedral in Los Angeles 2012-2013. I also had the honor of serving on the Diocese Young Adult Ministry Board from 2013 to 2017 and again from 2019 to 2025, holding leadership roles including Secretary and Vice President. Most recently, I began serving on the Parish Council at St. George in 2024. I look forward to continuing to serve my community at St. George.
