"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
Servants Preparation

The Servants’ Preparation Program is a weekly meeting, currently open for high school youth (Gr.9-12). Its main purpose is to prepare future servants with a strong Christian character, equipping them with profound knowledge of the Bible, a deep spiritual foundation, and thorough understanding of church doctrine. As part of the program, youth are assigned to serve in the church during winter break, march break and summer break, as well as to serve the community. This program is not only useful for people interested in serving, but it is also very helpful to everyone in becoming closer to God, understanding His Word and integrating in our church. Subjects covered include Bible Study, Dogma, Rituals, Church History, Spirituality, Theology, and Patrology.

When: Every Sunday at 12:30pm, refer to the Church Calendar.

High School Fellowship

The High School Fellowship meeting is held every Friday for Grades 9-12 youth. It focuses on building the youths’ relationship with God (FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD) and with one another (FELLOWSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER) during the teenage years; through interactive discussions about spiritual and social issues, and trips and outings that form healthy friendship bonds while still growing in relationship with God.

The fellowship meeting models how the Lord Jesus Christ developed His relationship with the disciples in three aspects: Discipleship, Fellowship and Service.

DISCIPLESHIP focuses on teaching the youth practical lessons sharing real life experiences.

FELLOWSHIP focuses on organizing events to share meals and activities.
SERVICE focuses on helping out with the church events and serving the community.

When: Every Friday at 7:30 pm, refer to the Church Calendar

Coptic and Hymns
Coptic hymns represent a valuable inheritance from the apostolic age, maintaining their form and essence over centuries. In this service, we learn together the Coptic language and praising God through hymns, preserving our Coptic Orthodox tradition, rites, worship and spirituality. When: Every Friday at 6:30 pm, refer to the Church Calendar
Youth Bible Study
It’s a crucial time to continue planting the seeds of God’s Word into our lives during the days of youth, as Solomon the king says, “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, 'I have no pleasure in them'”. (Ecclesiastes 12:1)
SMSJ Youth Bible Study is held every Thursday for youth; we study the Holy Bible book by book, alternating between Old Testament and New Testament. Interactive charts, graphics, maps and video clips are used to give background and introduce the book, then a book reading plan is set, and in each session, a summary is discussed in question and answer format.
