The Movement is our exciting young adult ministry at Bethel. We are both students and professionals. We have monthly worship celebrations, connect groups and outreach every month. Some of our celebrations are off site. Our world needs a spiritual revolution and it begins with us. Our heartbeat:
Matt 10 “Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighbourhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously.”
vs. 28 “If your first concern is to look after yourself, you’ll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you’ll find both yourself and more”
OUR PURPOSE: – to bring Young Adults together in a place where they can encounter God, be inspired, live up to their potential and walk out their faith by serving in meaningful and significant ways in both YA, youth, the church, the community and the world.
MISSION STATEMENT: To provide a monthly gathering where young adults ages 18-30 encounter the life changing presence of Jesus, be inspired to flourish in their faith, walk out their faith in tangible ways through serving both inside the walls and outside the walls. A place to call their own, belong, grow and accomplish the unprecedented.
We are involved in campus outreach, strip club outreach and street ministry monthly. For more info email Pastor Sandra at smcintosh@bethel.ca
