Grace Bible Church celebrated the launch of its youth structure groups at Randfontein Secondary School (RSS) on May 23, bringing together young people from across the community for a day focused on connection, inspiration and spiritual growth.

The church introduced two groups aimed at supporting young people at different stages of life. The high school group for learners in Grades Eight to 12, called … UnLTD (Unlimited), aims to help teenagers explore their identity, purpose and faith in a relatable environment.

The church also launched its Young Adults Ministry for school leavers and individuals over the age of 18. The group aims to guide young adults as they navigate life after school through mentorship, community support and personal development opportunities.

The event drew an enthusiastic turnout, with attendees taking part in interactive sessions, fellowship and motivational talks centred around the theme Standing Firm in a Shifting Culture.

Speakers addressed issues including staying faithful despite criticism, choosing honesty when cheating may appear easier, and maintaining purity in thoughts, words and actions.

According to organiser Gladys Munzhedzi, the initiative reflects the church’s commitment to investing in young people and addressing challenges affecting the community.

“We are in a community where young people are addicted to alcohol and drugs, and we have a high unemployment rate. We want God to shine His light in the communities of Toekomsrus and Randfontein,” said Gladys.

Both groups are expected to meet on the last Saturday of every month at RSS from 14:00 to 16:00.

Organisers also plan to host various activities, discussions and outreach programmes in the coming months as they continue building a strong and united youth community in Randfontein.
