We are extremely pleased to present before you, the Borivli Mar Gregorios Orthodox Christian Students Movement (MGOCSM) website. For the uninitiated, MGOCSM is an organization for the students (of age group 14- 25) of the Indian Orthodox Church. 

The Borivli MGOCSM is the students wing of St. George Orthodox Syrian Church popularly known in the Diocese as Borivli Parish. This Church forms one of the 47 churches which comprise the Western Diocese, which is spread over 3 states of India viz. Gujarat, Maharashtra & Goa. The Parish was established in 1982 under the leadership of elders of the time who felt the need for a congregation in the area other than Malad Parish. Over the years, the Borivli Parish has grown and continues to grow maintaining the rich traditions and faith of the Church. 

MGOCSM, here, was started in 1991 when a small group of committed students came together under the leadership of Mr. Aby Samuel. Many members of that group have now become ex-members but the seeds sown by them have only produced fruitful results. We now have a strength of 47 members of which about 15-20 are active. 

We meet regularly on Saturday evenings & on Sundays after the Holy Qurbana. Saturday evenings are exclusively for Bible study. Sundays are for discussions, debates, quizzes and a few official matters. 

We must mention specially that some of our members are active participants in the Mission Forum (an organization involved in humanitarian activities like lending support to street children, helping in relief activities etc. etc.) which was formed by the youth of the Malad Parish. We are also proud of 2 of our members, Cyril Kuriakose- The Diocesan Student Secretary of Mumbai & Anish Varghese- The Regional Secretary of Mumbai.

We are students with a mission. Our motto is Study, Worship & Service. We are thankful to this wonderful platform called MGOCSM which helps us grow as responsible Christians. We hope you make good use of this site that we have developed to share our joys & ideas with you. Thanks for dropping by !
