There is something powerful happening on the Gold Coast right now. You can feel it in the atmosphere — a movement of young believers rising with courage, conviction, and a hunger for God. Recently, I had the privilege of attending a Gold Coast Young Adults event hosted by Highway Church and run by the incredible team at UNIVS QLD, and it honestly reminded me why the Gold Coast is becoming one of Australia’s strongest Christian hubs.
Walking into the event, the energy was unmistakable — passionate worship, genuine community, and young people chasing after the presence of God with everything they’ve got. This wasn’t just another gathering… this was an encounter.
And one of the best parts?
I got to bring my good friend Ethan Azzopardi along with me.
A Night Filled With Purpose on the Gold Coast
Highway Church has always been known for building strong, Christ-centred community, but this Young Adults event felt different in the best way. The worship was authentic, the message was Spirit-led, and the entire space felt like a safe place for young adults to be real, vulnerable, and open to what God is doing in their lives.
UNIVS QLD delivered an unforgettable night — filled with:
-
powerful teaching
-
community-driven connection
-
moments of prayer
-
encouragement for young leaders
-
a space to grow spiritually and emotionally
Young adults from across the Gold Coast came together with a shared heart:
to chase Jesus and build a generation that carries influence, faith, and purpose.
Bringing My Friend Ethan Azzopardi Along
What made the night even more special was bringing along my close friend Ethan Azzopardi. Ethan is someone who carries heart, loyalty, and a hunger for truth, so I knew he’d feel right at home in that environment.
Watching him connect with people, worship freely, and experience the atmosphere firsthand reminded me of how important it is to surround ourselves with the right community — people who lift us up, challenge us spiritually, and walk the journey with us.
Moments like this strengthen friendships, sharpen purpose, and build memories that stay with us forever.
Why Nights Like This Matter for Young Adults on the Gold Coast
Events like these are shaping a new kind of culture on the Gold Coast — one that’s bold, faith-filled, and Christ-anchored. Young adults are stepping into:
-
deeper identity
-
stronger community
-
greater purpose
-
clearer vision
-
powerful discipleship
The Gold Coast isn’t just a beautiful place to live — it’s becoming a thriving centre for Christian young adults who want to grow, serve, and influence the world around them.
Highway Church and UNIVS QLD are creating spaces where people can encounter God, meet new friends, and build a foundation for their future.
A Night I’ll Never Forget
Looking back, the night was more than just an event — it was a reminder of what God is doing in our generation. Real friendships, real faith, and real purpose came together in one place.
I’m grateful I went.
I’m grateful Ethan was there with me.
And I’m grateful to be part of a community on the Gold Coast that is rising up with strength, unity, and passion for Christ.
