🚀Registration for the 2026 cohort of our jobs program, Work Life, is now open! Work Life is a FREE 11-week jobs-readiness course led by trained facilitators for individuals who are unemployed or underemployed. The course teaches basic technical job readiness skills and helps participants develop a better understanding of workplace culture and how to overcome real-world pitfalls on the path to a living wage.

Most importantly, we will be showing participants that they are known and loved by God, who provides peace, healing, and freedom in their relationship with Him, with others, with themselves, and with their work.
