A Closer Look at Youth Ministry

Spiritual organizations are often said to be the life of a parish, and it is understood that each and every member of the Church should be connected with at least one spiritual organization. It serves as an opportunity for love and fellowship among believers, but more importantly, it is an avenue through which one can learn the Faith and practices of the Church.

Among all the spiritual organizations, the Mar Gregorios Orthodox Christian Student Movement (MGOCSM) plays an important role in the building up of youth as they prepare for adulthood. A spiritual organization that was founded just over a century ago on a college campus has now become an active and vibrant movement across the globe, especially the North American continent. The Church prides itself in the growth of the new generation of youth. However, the challenges and obstacles that our youth face are increasing, and it is necessary to provide them with proper counsel and direction as they seek to live the Orthodox way of life in a secular world.
