Teen SOYO is a ministry for youth in the parish who are ages 13-19. Teen SOYO officers organize Bible Studies, Retreats, Outings, and other activities. Teen SOYO is also a chapter of the larger Diocesan Teen SOYO and NAC Teen SOYO of the Diocese of Los Angeles & the West and the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, respectively.
Through NAC Teen SOYO & Diocese of Los Angeles & the West (DLAW) Teen SOYO, our parish’s Teen SOYO participates in large scale retreats and conferences such as the annual Parish Life Conference and the bi-annual National Archdiocese Convention.
Teens also make a faithful commitment to Camp Three Holy Youths, the St. Nicholas Summer Camp that attracts over 100 campers each summer from various Antiochian churches.
V. Rev. Fr. George Baalbaki is the Spiritual Advisor and Father of the Teen SOYO chapter at St. Nicholas Church. Many of our Bible Studies and Retreats are conducted with his blessing and he plays a vital role. Lay leaders act as Teen Advisors in working with Teeens to plan activities.
