Young Adult Ministries: Young Adult Ministries aim is to cultivate and educate our young adult Orthodox Christians (18 and older) and to bring a generation back to the Church. A ministry to the Pan-Orthodox young adult community can help them become more active members of the body of Christ, and to realize the benefits and the blessings of a life in Christ. Our goal is to help our young adults develop an awareness of their identity as Orthodox Christians as well as to bring them together in fellowship and service with other young adult Orthodox Christians in the Houston area.
