Youth (ACYA)

The mission of the Armenian Church Youth of Australia (ACYA) is to develop the youthful face of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Australia and conduct programs for Armenian youth and young adults to bond to the Armenian Church

Its purpose is to help youth learn and practice the principles and teachings of Christian faith according to the doctrines and traditions of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

The aim of the ACYA is to bring Armenian youth into the Armenian Church Community and foster members of faith who will engage in church life.

The activities of the ACYA have varied over the years from cultural and sporting groups to Bible study and fellowship groups.

CURRENT ACTIVITIES OF THE ACYA

Vartanants Youth Choir

The Choir comprises of older teens and young adults who have a keen interest in serving the Church, a desire to learn the sacred hymns and worship mantra of our Church and wish to contribute positively to the Divine Liturgy.

Young adults aged 15-35 years are encouraged and welcome to to join the Choir which rehearses regularly on Sunday afternoons.

Church Youth Days

These days are designated to get youth actively involved in Sunday worship services both spiritually and purposefully.

Generally on the first Sunday of each month when the Vartanants Choir is scheduled to partake in the Divine Liturgy, the day is devoted to youth to prompt group attendance and to undertake church duties generally assigned to church councillors.

The concept of the day is to also engage youth in fellowship with one another in after church activities.
