About Youth Fellowship

The Mar Thoma Youth Fellowship envisages in equipping the second generation youth of the diocese to grow in Jesus Christ and to engage them in the mission of the church through the four foundations: Witness, Worship, Study, and Service.

The Diocesan Youth Fellowship (DYF) is leading in the Youth Ministry of the Diocese, along with coordinating the youth ministry on the regional, center, and parish levels. It is this committee’s hopes and prayers that the Diocesan Youth Fellowship will continue to grow and grasp the glory of God.

The DYF focuses on the spiritual growth of the youth, to grow in the knowledge and relationship with the Lord, and to accept Him as Lord and Savior. This is done through Christian fellowship, worship, bible study, and witness.

The DYF also encourages youths to participate and lead in the different ministries on the parish level, and also in L.E.A.D., Altar Boys / Covenant Girls, Sunday School, Native American Mission, Neighborhood Mission, Mexico Mission, and India Mission. Members of the Church who are between the ages of 12 and 35 are eligible for membership in the youth fellowship.
