The SOYO Ministry
Teen SOYO (The Society of Orthodox Youth Organizations) consists of young teens of the ages 13-19. Teen SOYO seeks to integrate each young person fully into the life of the Orthodox Church through the combination of Worship, Witness, Service and Fellowship. Through these, the teens have the opportunities to form spiritual and social bonds between each individual so that a profound and life giving relationship with Jesus Christ and His Holy Church.
Teen SOYO was founded by his Eminence Metropolitan PHILIP in 1969 as an Archdiocese Youth Movement. For decades Teen SOYO has inspired Youth to Love Christ, His Church, and to seek His Truth and Life. Teen SOYO creates leaders for tomorrow strengthened by Christ. Being a Christian is not just reserved for Sundays but rather it is every day of the week and every second of the day. SOYO unites teens in the Church and the dioceses through faith. All SOYO members learn what it means to be a Christian in this new technological world. They also learn to help the church, the community, and their families.

We have an incredible team of directors, officers, and teens that come together and work towards fulfilling the missions of Worship, Witness, Service, and Fellowship by organizing and facilitating events. Our teens are continuing to grow. We meet every Sunday during Sunday School, which is held after divine liturgy. In addition, we have monthly activities.
