YOUTH MINISTRIES
Catechism
Orthodoxy is a way of life. Orthodox Education aims at the communication of the content of Christian truth in the context of Christian living: believing, praying, worshipping, learning, applying, growing, sharing, serving and witnessing.
The organization and development of the Orthodox curriculum is based on the fundamental structures of the life in Christ: worship/latreia, community/koinonia, discipleship/matheteia, service/diakonia, and witness/martyria.
G•O•Y•A
The Greek Orthodox Youth of America, or GOYA, is the ministry to young persons age 12-18 of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Since GOYA is a ministry, the orientation and implementation of the program should reflect the Orthodox Christian Faith, Tradition and Life. The youth participate in volunteer, social and athletic activities.
