Young Professionals

As a movement of business people, professionals and marketplace leaders seeking to wholeheartedly live their life with Christ as their Lord, the Genesis Network recognises the unique needs and opportunities within the Young Professional age bracket.

We seek to equip and encourage Young Professionals to tackle workplace challenges and opportunities in a Christ honouring way.

  • Q. Do you ever struggle to navigate some of the big cultural issues in work from a Biblical perspective?

  • Q. Do you wonder how you can be yourself in the workplace?

  • Q. Are you challenged by how you can use your work as a place of ministry?

 

We want to build a community of Young Professionals to support, encourage and challenge each other. 

Young Professionals is an integral part of the Genesis Network as we seek to use the experiences of others to equip this evolving community.

Here are our upcoming events for 2022. Take a look and sign up below. We look forward to welcoming you!

A quote that he is reminded of daily is 'Your friends may not be reading the bible but they are reading you', this challenges him to see how Jesus can work in all areas of my life and have gives him an opportunity to share the blessings that Jesus has given him.

    Claire is a Chartered Investment Manager working for Evelyn Partners in Belfast. She’s enjoys working with private individuals, businesses and charities to achieve their financial goals.

    Alongside her work Claire values her spirituality, believing very much in the spiritual law that you reap what you sow, and therefore puts her best into everything she does. She is very excited to be a part of the Genesis Network looking forward to building relationships with those who attend.

  • Judah McNaughten

    Judah is a financial adviser in Belfast who started working in finance at the age of 18 when he joined Deloitte in the city. Since the beginning of his career, Judah has seen his job as a large part of his daily living, which is something that he believes should be offered in service to Jesus.

    Honouring God in everything that he does is of significance in Judah’s life and he believes that the world of business is no exception to that. We are blessed in our life circumstances to be in positions to make positive changes to God’s creations, the Earth and his people. This is a calling that Judah feels strongly about delivering on.

    He has become involved with the Young Professionals Hub as he believes it is a group filling a necessary void specifically for young people entering the marketplace after college and university, where a lot of Christian mission and support is available.

Recent Events

June 2022: ‘In Conversation’

Tackling workplace challenges and opportunities in a God honouring way can be a frustrating and lonely experience, especially in the early stages of your career.

We will explore some of these challenges with Ewan Boyle, Director at Johnston Campbell Ltd and Scott Davison, Group Business Process Improvement Manager at Haldane Fisher.

September 2022: What if I get it wrong…

“What happens when I get it wrong? How do I be me in the workplace?” 

When we look back on decisions and actions within our roles in the marketplace, it’s often easy to see where we could have done things differently.

David Martin will explore - in conversation with our young professionals - how to approach the topic of being authentic. We look forward to him sharing thoughts on how we approach the topic with humility in a God honouring way.
