Balasamajam

The Malankara Orthodox Church Balika – Bala Samajam, constituted in each and every parishes of the Malankara Orthodox Church has the objective of inculcating the ideals of worship, study and wholesome living among all the boys and girls inside the Church.

Through this programme, an all round development of personality of the children is accomplished as they are encouraged to study the Holy Bible, the tradition and history of the Church along with their academic studies. The life history of Saints of the church presented before them develops in them a spiritual and moral life aiming the service for the society.

The Samajam through its activities encourages the children to participate regularly in the Sunday Schools and Church services. Every child between the age of 5 and 15 years are supposed to be its members.
The Samajam is led in the central level by a Metropolitan as its President and Priests as its Vice-president and General Secretary. The Joint-secretaries are represented by a boy and girl each from its members. Each parish has its own unit led by the Priest as the President.

Our Unit : Like most of the parishes of the Malankara Orthodox church, a balasamajam unit is functioning in our parish.The samajam is active. Regular meetings are held every month. Children in the age group of 8-17 are regularly taking part in the activities. Elders guide by their experiences. Bible reading, speech, song, discussions and Quiz are some of the regular features of the meetings. A balasamajam choir is formed.
The intention is to develop personalities of the boys and girls of our church, to encourage them to study Holy Bible, history and growth of the church and guide them to lead a spiritual and moral life with specific aim to serve the society in the best way. It is hoped that balasamajam members grow as good models to other children
