Jobs for Life (JfL) has been a central component of our church since 2016. Third Church has reached out to the community to help individuals become more stable. We’ve realized employment is a great part of helping people in the community. We desire Third Church to be more reflective of the actual community where we live and worship. A high percentage of the students in the JfL classes are from other countries. The Jobs for Life training has helped us advance our desire to connect with other communities. We now partner with the Christian -Arabic church and we’re more involved with others.
Jobs for Life is an investment. It’s a discipleship ministry. You communicate deeply with others through the materials and help people understand God and work. Work is a part of God’s plan to engage lives. At every JfL class we have a shared experience of life and are reminded of God’s purpose, connections, values and attitudes. It’s very important to Third Church and we’re happy to be a part of this great job ministry!
