Young Adult League (YAL)
Overview
The mission of the Greek Orthodox Young Adult League (GOYAL) is to cultivate and educate our young adults (ages 18 and up), leading them to the fullness of the Faith and likeness of God; by utilizing the four circles of Christian living, Worship, Witness, Service and Fellowship, young adults are integrated into the life of the Church, enabling them to become active members of the body of Christ.
