**SECONDARY EMPHASES: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND EVANGELISM**

While these emphases are labelled as secondary, they are not to be considered _‘less than’_ in importance and in time allocations. Rather what is does speak to is the primary importance we give to our Youth and Young Adult ministries. That said, it is imperative that we are actively strategizing and mobilizing as we find ways to connect with those in close proximity to the church, namely Hamilton with extensions to Queensborough and New Westminster.

**JOB DESCRIPTION PERTAINING TO THE ABOVE**

- strategizing and mobilizing ways to connect with our geographic community
- finding ways to make it known how Bethany can serve those in the community with

things like Moms and Tots
- being responsible for and taking charge of Event Ministries - both in planning new

events and making current events better known throughout the community. New events
could be things like Trunk or Treat, a Carnival, movie nights or other occasions not yet
identified. Some of these latter things would be events like VBS
- Evangelism would involve conducting a minimum of 2 Alpha Series during the calendar

year. As need arises, this could also involve developing or selecting a ‘Stage 2’ series as a
natural follow-up for Alpha
- conducting training to assist people to effectively share their faith

engage those in these ‘targeted emphases’ to have a faith-filled, attractive and committed
relationship with Jesus. The life he / she calls others to is evident in the Youth, Young

- demonstrated ability to plan and conduct effective and impactful weekly youth activities
