Summary/Abstract: Having basically always lived together with the other national church of Finland, the Lutheran Church, which represents the majority, Orthodoxy in this northern country developed certain traits that make it certainly different from other local Orthodox churches. The church does a complex mission among its members, structured on age groups, e.g. children and youth. Mission strategy shares from the Lutheran majority’s experience as well. A characteristic of the Finnish OrthodoxChurch is the relatively large number of organizations, brotherhoods and societies that function in it, so that parish mission for children and youth is done both through the own means of the parish and through the help of certain organizations orientated on mission work.
