Yuvajana Sakhyam

The Mar Thoma Yuvajana Sakhyam was organized with a view that all the young people in the church should accept Jesus Christ as their saviour and Lord, and be a witness to his saving power. It was organized in 1993 by a resolution of the Sabha Prathinidhi Mandalam. Branches of the Sakhyam were set up in the Parishes with a four-fold program of worship, study, witness and service.

The Yuvajana Sakhyam of the Mar Thoma Church of Dallas is an active organization with members in the age group 12 to 45 and has 88 registered members(from 41 active families). We take pride in catering to both English and Malayalam speaking members of the Church and are blessed with a group of vibrant members from a broad age spectrum and diverse backgrounds. This has uniquely enabled our Sakhyam to bring the different Church organizations together to work towards common goals in our Christian ministry.

The Sakhyam is actively engaged in outreach ministries including community outreach programs  like Feed my Starving Children, Habitat of Humanity, blood donation, meals on wheels and providing financial and educational support to our brothers and sisters in need. Sakhyam members meet frequently for Bible studies, discussions and fellowship that enable them to grow in their walk with Christ. Sakhyam members have monthly meetings, (Every 4th Sunday of the month at 5:00 PM CST) which includes praise and worship and informative talk/sessions on subjects relevant to the group. These sessions are led by Sakhyam members or SME’s from other organizations within the church are invited.
