Purpose

The purpose of Christian Women’s Job Corps is to equip women for life and employment with basic life skills necessary for self-sufficiency, within her culture, which may include: sustained employment; adequate income; housing; transportation; child care; and/or medical care. CWJC provides a loving environment where self-image can be restored and a place where women can develop life skills, set personal, educational and career goals and discover a realistic plan for accomplishing them. CWJC of Middle Tennessee does this by offering women in need “A Hand Up, Not a Hand Out.”

The Christian Women’s Job Corps of Middle Tennessee is one ministry in three locations: Nashville, Madison, and Williamson County. It has been serving working poor women in the Greater Nashville community since 1997. Its mission is to provide the potential for transformation of body, mind, heart and spirit of the participants and the volunteers who serve them. We are supported by grants, churches, individual donors, and most importantly prayers. Without God’s hand in our ministry we would not be able to serve the women we have nor transform the lives we have seen transform.
