Gift: Do you have a passion to serve others and encourage them along the way?

​

Need: Our 8-week small group classes are the "meat and potatoes" of what we offer job seekers. We use the Crossroads Career Network Explorers Workbook as a guide, however, encourage each facilitator to add their wisdom and expertise in the process.

​

Serve: The purpose of these classes is to provide the best, most relevant and current content to help them in their job search as we can while sharing the love of Christ and how faith in Christ is key in their life and in their work!

​Practical Content, Moral Support, Faith, and Encouragement each week are the goals of these classes.

​Ideally, class facilitators are engaged in the employment market in some way professionally / vocationally. That see the changing trends and market conditions on a regular basis and can always offer current insight and practical advice for the job search process.

​

We seek leaders that are mature in their own Christian walk and love to share their faith and a Godly view of work with others.

​

Commitment: We ask for a one-year commitment at a minimum, which is about 3-4 classes a year. Each class series is 8-weeks. Most classes are held at Grace Church but you may teach at other locations like at your local library.

Serve: Greet them, meet them, help them get name tags and hand-out sheets and make them feel comfortable when they arrive at our Monthly Meetings (first Thursday of the month). We always appreciate having multiple greeters that make people feel welcome and cared for.

​

Commitment: This opportunity is available any time and on a "whenever I can make it" basis! Best if you are also "a morning person" since our meetings start at 7:30 AM.

Gift: Can you coordinate people and resources on the fly?

​

Serve: Employers that take part in our monthly Micro Job Fairs generally arrive half-way through our monthly meetings, on the first Thursdays of the month.

People are needed to greet them, help them find a table and set up display materials they may have brought. Finding a place for everyone, and making sure they have everything they need is critical. Helping them feel welcomed and supported encourages them to come back on a regular basis.

Gift: Are you a Prayer Warrior?

​

Serve: We have a prayer team that loves to pray for people through requests that come from our website. Additionally, there is a need for more people on the prayer team for national Crossroads Career Network prayer requests.

If you have a passion for supporting people by taking their needs and concerns to Christ in prayer, we'd love to talk to you!
