The Purpose of the SGYAM organization is to:

Build and foster a sense of the Indian Orthodox faith and tradition.
Provide community services and charities within our local community and in India.

The Activities of the SGYAM include:

Cater to the spiritual needs of the young adults of St.Gregorios
Monthly meetings including prayer, bible study, and discussions of the Orthodox faith.
Host and support fund raisers for various charities in the local community and in India
Participate in the annual St.Gregorios activities

SGYAM has spear-headed some of the fund raising projects including Christian devotional live concerts by Kester (2019) and K. G. Markose (2013) that benefited the church and various charitable organizations in the DMV region.
