A special shout out to Sis. Nomalanga Mahlangu, the Highveld District’s Senior Youth Ministries Federation President who also was among those invested.
The Senior Youth Ministries Department wishes to congratulate all candidates on completing their requirements for SYL and ultimately being invested. These serve as encouragement to Church Elders and Youth Leaders, and as an inspiration to Youth in the TOC to enrol for and complete their SYL.
The aim of SYL is not just a difference in uniform; we admit the uniform is beautiful and unique, and some love the idea of being in the uniform than the ideals it represents. The SYL program intends to create a much more youth-friendly church and find ways of integrating young people into church life, leadership roles, expression of spiritual gifts, and ultimately “To lead young people into an authentic saving relationship with Jesus Christ and help them embrace His call to disciple-making and mission involvement.”
If you’re interested in the program, please contact your respective district federation President.
God bless the TOC!
God bless You!
