ACYA Sydney is dedicated to providing opportunities for Armenian youth to engage, learn and practise the principles and teachings of the Armenian Apostolic Church within a welcoming and inclusive environment.
ACYA Sydney organises a variety of events and activities aimed at different age groups, including young adults and couples (ACYA Seniors) and high school students (ACYA Juniors). These are aimed to foster a sense of community and spiritual growth.

ACYA Sydney Seniors
ACYA Sydney Seniors caters to tertiary students, young adults and young couples. Everyone is welcome to join ACYA Sydney, either as a committee member or as an active participant at our various activities and events.
Current Activities for ACYA Seniors
Monthly Youth Bible Study
Regular Bible study sessions are held with interactive discussions and reflections to apply biblical principles to everyday life. They allow the Armenian youth to deepen their understanding of the Scriptures and the teachings of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
Youth meet on the third Wednesday of every month from 7pm, except during Lent, for their monthly youth bible studies.
Monthly Youth Liturgy
Special monthly Saturday liturgies are tailored for the youth to actively participate in the spiritual life of the Church. Opportunities are available to learn about and engage in traditional Armenian liturgical practices with English translations of the service.
Youth meet on the first Saturday evening of every month from 6pm, except during Lent, for their monthly youth liturgy, followed by fellowship in the Edgarian Hall.
Choirs
Whether you are an experienced singer, or wishing to try for the first time, joining a choir is a great opportunity for youth to learn the sacred hymns of the Divine Liturgy, and is a meaningful way to participate in church life.
The Vartanants Choir caters for young adults and sings once a month at Church. Youth may also join the choir during monthly youth liturgies.
The Karasoun Mangounk Choir welcomes younger children and teenagers.
To express interest in joining the church choirs, contact the Church Office or ACYA Sydney.
ACYA Sydney Juniors
To prepare high school-aged students for adulthood as Armenian Christians, ACYA Sydney also offers Junior programs to foster a sense of belonging and familiarity with the faith and community through age-appropriate activities and mentorship.
If students or their parents wish to get involved with ACYA Sydney Juniors activities and events, please contact us at acya@armenian.com.au
