St. Andrew’s Assyrian Church of the East Youth Association was established at the Maryville location in 2002. Our goal is to introduce teenagers to Jesus Christ, nurture them in their faith, and equip them for a lifetime of glorifying God. We equip our teenagers with knowledge of the apostolic faith of the Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East and encourage them to invest themselves in the life of our church through volunteering, attending weekly bible studies, attending Holy mass every Sunday, and involvement in various church and community events. St. Andrews Youth is open to all students ages 14-30. We live by the motto from John 15:14-15 “You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”
