The future and hope of every Church and Nation is said to be it's Youth. This is a logically accepted and important concept for the survival of a nation.
The Church in Australia has continuously endeavoured to implement new strategies for the attraction of its youth, involving them in fields such as, religion, education and social activities. By this, our entire community has and will continue achieving successful results.

The Youth Association of Sydney would like to take this opportunity to announce a new committee of 2010.
The current central committee comprises of seven members, who devote time and effort for the progress of this association. Through this site, you will witness a tremendous achievement attained by all those sons and daughters of the Church, who have participated with exertion towards the enhancement of this association.
The most encouraging and spiritual triumph of this association has been the preaching of the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to its members. By the Holy power of the word of God, members' passion and esteem for their Church's faith and doctrine has increased enormously.

Emmanuel Yousif . President
Lynette Abdeisho . Secretary
Alen Toma . Treasurer

We pray to our Saviour Jesus Christ to continue His Grace in this committee to enable them to achieve the set goals and to continue building a future for our Assyrian Youth to praise His name.
The Church Youth Association has gained the respect of the entire Church sons and daughters, by their dedication and devotion towards various Church activities. We are also pleased to note that, today, youth participation within the Church has been affirmed, by the Church faithful.
Undoubtedly, behind every accomplishment, there must be an accomplice for support and encouragement. This association has at all times, immense honour and respect for His Beatitude Mar Meelis Zaia, who has been, is and will always be an inspiration for the entire association. God bless you, Mar Meelis.
