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.

  • 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.
