"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)
University/College Services
The University/College fellowship serves youth after graduating from high school. It’s an important part of their life as they stand for their faith among their peers, leading by example as Christian role models. It also helps, through the grace of God, to build life-long friendships and relationships among one another in a Godly environment.
Meeting discussions range from Spirituality, Dogma, Theology, Church History, Bible Studies, and Social topics. We also pray together asking for God to open our minds and hearts to His word, and to place His words into the minds and hearts of His servants. Check out the Church Calendar for the day and time of the meeting.
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.
The Patristics
This meeting seeks to help university/college youth and grads acquire the mind of Christ through the study of the writings of the early Church Fathers and the richness of our Orthodox liturgical texts, providing them with a solid framework for living Orthodoxy in today’s world.
