Christian Women's Job Corps - Celebrating 12 Years!
Christian Women's Job Corps, a ministry of Woman's Missionary Union, is dedicated to touching and changing lives by assisting women in becoming self sufficient and independent. This is a national organization with over 150 sites in 34 states with more being started every day. There are three things each site has in common: each is operated in a Christian context; each has Bible Study as a major part of the curriculum; each program pairs participants with Christian mentors to serve as a spiritual and personal guide.

As CWJC grows, it continues to bring hope to women in need, one by one, by giving a hand UP, not a hand out. Much has been learned and programs have been adjusted since our beginning ten years ago. One thing is for certain - women's lives are being touched and changed. Most importantly, women are discovering God's love.

What We Believe

We believe in the Trinity, God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that the Bible as the Word of God. Salvation comes through grace by believing in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God, our Savior and Lord. Once saved, the Holy Spirit indwells, thereby instructing, guiding, and empowering the individual to follow the mandate of Jesus Christ in daily living.

We offer our participants Training through 8 week Life Skills and Job Readiness Classes; Mentoring through our Christian volunteers who agree to walk alongside a participant for a minimum of one year; and Networking through our contacts with churches, agencies and programs to provide a comprehensive approach to meeting their individual needs such as childcare, housing, health, transportation and job training.
