The mission of the Greek Orthodox Young Adult League (GOYAL) Ministry is to lead all persons to the fullness of the Faith and Likeness of God, through the example of it's patron saint, St. Stephen the Protomartyr.

The YAL is open to all those who are between the ages of 18 and 35!

Consequently, young adults must be integrated into the active life of the Orthodox Church on all levels; Parish, Diocesan, and Archdiocesan; dedicated to serving the Church, it's missions and ministries.
