We The Youth
Hillsong South Africa Youth is a community of young people that love Jesus and live for Him. We believe we are called to be disciples, to live differently and to be an example to the world around us.

Encounter Conference 2025 | Homecoming
Encounter Conference is all about young people having an encounter with Jesus. We know one moment with Jesus can change your life forever.
God has a plan & purpose for every young person. We believe as young people encounter Jesus that there will be a homecoming; a homecoming of the Holy Spirit in our hearts and a homecoming of our place in God’s plan.
Ephesians 2:19-22 MSG
19-22 That’s plain enough, isn’t it? You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He’s using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.
If you are in grade 7-12, this conference is for you!
Encounter is absolutely NEXT LEVEL! Tribal wars, hang time, activities, live praise & worship, giveaways, incredible speakers, merch, making friends and so much more!
We cannot wait to gather together, encounter Jesus like never before and have the best time of our lives!
Encounter Conference is happening in both Cape Town & Gauteng.
Last year Encounter sold out! So we are so excited to be taking a step of faith and making more space this year as we move Encounter Conference to the UCT Sports Centre.
