Job Assistance Ministry (JAM) of The Church at Battlecreek is a Christ-Centered ministry designed to assist in your career transition. JAM is staffed by a group of professionals in all business disciplines. Each volunteer has been called and uniquely prepared by God to serve in this ministry by his/her own loss of a job or business.

All are welcome to attend. You do not have to be a member or attend TCABC to come. Please feel free to pass this information to anyone that you know that is in the process of making a career transition.

JAM is designed to support and encourage you in your job search efforts. It is our goal to help prepare you to put your best self forward in your job search, but encourage you to involve God in the process.

A JAMSession is made up of a large group session that provides encouragement, job search related speakers and topics. Following the group session, there are four breakout sessions that deal with specific areas of interest in the job search process. The breakout sessions focus on resume writing or updating, networking, interviewing skills and how to develop goals/ plans for your life and career.

I came to JAM with the expectation of finding employment. My expectations were fulfilled. One thing that I credit JAM with is teaching me to network.

Normally, I would not network , after all, I didn’t need anyone’s help finding a job. I never had a problem finding work on my own. So why network?

The first thing that JAM taught me was to invite God into my job search. Which I did, after I abandoned my pride and utilized the concept of networking. A JAM volunteer stated that it would be the least likely person you would think of, but someone else would find you a job. He was correct, networking with God’s help does work .I am sure that if I ever start looking again for employment, I will use the same technique.

1. Invite God 2. Abandon pride 3. Network! Network! Network!

SHERRI

We are new to church at Battle Creek. Leaving our previous church of 10 years was a painful decision but was something God lead us to do. After our first visit to the church, my husband was laid off from his company. This was devasting news. The following week, we saw the JAM flyers and my husband logged onto the website and began going through all of the companies you have listed to see if they had any openings for an electrician.

That is where he came across this position with the City of Tulsa. We would never have thought on our own that the city would be hiring. He began the interviewing process and was offered a position yesterday.

I would like to thank you and all those who give their time to make this church such a wonderful place. The dedication of its members is refreshing and a wonderful representation of the body of Christ.

I truly believe God brought us to this church for a reason. We found a community group that we really like and it is literally less than 1 mile from our house!

Thanks again for all you do.

STAY AT HOME MOM

I was a stay at home mom for several years and recently returned to the work place. I was nervous about my job skills being rusty and terrified at the thought of interviewing. JAM showed me that by involving God in my job search that he would open doors, guide me and encourage me.
