Mission
To provide a Christian context in which women in need are equipped for life and employment; and a missions context in which women help women.

Statement of Faith
We believe in the Trinity, God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and 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.

During the application process, participants are assessed and short term and long-term goals are established. A mentor team is assigned to the participant and a plan to reach goals is formulated. The 10-week CWJC program may be in addition to other outside resources (i.e. GED classes) that may be secured for the participant. The participant begins to experience the joy of having some control over the course that her life takes right from the start in this program.
