The Ellis County Christian Men's Job Corps meets every Saturday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Men learn practical trade skills alongside mentors who know the work — and who care just as much about the man as the craft.

Job Corps is not a class you sit through. It's a workshop, a table, and a group of men who show up week after week. Participants gain employable skills, references, and the accountability that makes a new start hold.

Every Saturday also includes Scripture and prayer. The trade opens the door; the gospel is why the door is open.

Our mission

To equip men in Ellis County with job skills, Christian mentoring, and the hope of the gospel.

Our vision

Men restored to steady work, healthy families, and a living faith — and then mentoring the next man.

More than a trade

Résumés and references matter, but so do character, accountability, and knowing Christ.

Partnership

We partner with local businesses for job placement, educational institutions for vocational training, and other faith-based organizations for spiritual guidance and outreach.
