Summary/Abstract: The Church youth mission involves both their calling from God ,but also educating them in the spirit of the Orthodox faith. In this regard the Church undertakes an extensive work with formal and non formal methods and techniques. Successful action of religious education and training of young people today depends on many factors: the knowledge about young people, applying discerning methods by those in charge of education, the availability of the missionaries, the existence of interested people, a receptive Christian community etc. The present study aims to highlight some of formal and non formal methods and techniques applied in missionary pastoral work with young people in the Church. There are presented advantages and disadvantages of each method and techniques. It also made a brief presentation of the types of young with whom a priest meets in his pastoral activity. All together form a huge part of the action taken by the Church in educating its young members. But this approach allows us to shape the present and future generation of our Orthodox Church.
