Orthodox Youth & Young Adult Ministries (OYM)

Welcome to the OYM YouTube Channel!

You're here because you have noticed that the Church has a problem: 60%-90% of our young people are leaving the Church in young adulthood. 

You've probably tried all kinds of things to reverse this trend, but you're likely finding yourself frustrated and worried that nothing is changing. Fortunately, you've come to the right place.

Through these videos, OYM can help you re-imagine and re-envision your approach to ministry so that you can care for those in your parish and bring them into an ever deepening relationship with the Lord as you help them encounter Christ, embody His Church, and engage the world in His Name.

OYM is the Pan-Orthodox Youth and Young Adult Ministry agency of the Canonical Assembly of Bishops of the United States of America.
