The students and senior leaders of the Church who were residing in Madras in the early part of the last century felt the need for an organization to bring together Christian students in various colleges and high schools with a view to deepening their spiritual life and to create in them a lively sense of fellowship. The Syrian Student Conference, the parent organization was formed in 1907 and the
first conference was convened on 1–3 January 1908 at Balikamadom School, Tiruvalla, Kerala. The Movement assumed the present name MGOCSM in 1960 and its motto is Worship, Study, Service. The strength of the Movement is the wide network of its units centered in educational institutions and major parishes spread all over India and outside. MGOCSM has been maintaining inter-disciplinary contacts in the academic field for a long time by the formation of its wings. They include the High School, Higher Secondary, College students’ wings, University, Higher Secondary, High School teachers’ associations, Medical Auxiliary, Technical Auxiliary, Missionary Forum, Literary Forum, and the Publication wing. In Delhi,the baton of MGOCSM was carried out by major parishes across the city citing lack of christian education institutions for the movement since its establishment.This was resolved when a group of enthusiastic students from St Stephen's College with a clear vision of mission came together at the Buddha Vatika Lawns.With the Grace of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,the first ever institutional wing in the Delhi Diocese was formed under the name- ' ST STEPHEN'S COLLEGE'
