Church youth organizations, as well as students from various universities and colleges are meeting to share the Word of God. During recent years these groups have asked the BS to meet with them in search of answers to their questions for which the university curriculum has none, and to help in sharing these answers with their fellow students.

In 2011, we have undertaken a new initiative aiming to prepare young leaders. The BS is now organized Bible studies, lectures and special events especially prepared for the students on topics of relevance and interest to them.

The period March-May, 2011, was as training period for 3 groups of University students, Church Youth group members and Selected Students with Master's Degree of the Faculty of Theology (22-25 persons in each group). During this time 10 seminars with 4 hours are dedicated for each group.

The lecturers were from the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and from the Yerevan State University and from the BS.

72 copies of Bible, 353 copies of New Testament and 3,133 copies of Selections and Bible Literature were distributed.

Also monthly meetings were held with 150 young people from Church youth group, including 25-30 deaf and dumb young people in Holy Trinity Church, Yerevan.

At the end of this academic year the BS organised a special session for the MA students of the Gevorgian Theological Seminary at the main Hall of the Seminary speaking on “The Bible as the basis of our Service.” At the meeting was also present the Dean, Very Rev. Fr Gevorg Saroyan, who is also the Chairman of the BS Board. The BS handed a Classical Bible and a package of 12 volume Biblical Literature to 47 MA Seminarians.
The same event is scheduled at the Theological Academy of the Armenian Evangelical Church in September, 2011.
