As I said in the introduction to this blog, from time to time I am going to take time out to talk about things outside of my work life that are important to me. This is one of those topics.
For those of you that know me and know how non-musical I am, the title of this post is probably a little confusing to you. Let me assure you that JAM Sessions have nothing to do with music.

JAM stands for Job Assistance Ministry and is offered through and supported by The Church at BattleCreek in Broken Arrow, OK. The purpose of this ministry is to help people progress in their professional careers. Participants include people who are currently employed, as well as people who are unemployed. The assistance available is the same regardless of your current employment status.
JAM Sessions are held twice per month on Sunday evenings. At these sessions we offer support and encouragement through Christ and the talents and experience of the volunteers who have felt called to serve in this ministry. To support this ministry God has brought together an amazing group of talented people who have a true passion for helping others advance in their professional and spiritual lives.
During JAM Sessions we offer break-out sessions addressing topics from Life and Career Planning to Resume Writing to Networking to Interviewing Skills. Each of these sessions is led by people who God has gifted with relevant knowledge, skills and experience. As a part of each break-out session, the leaders share information and experiences they have gained over the course of their professional life. They also give practical advice and tools that the participants can put to use immediately. Each session also offers time for the participants to pose questions and seek advice on specific topics.
Another awesome service offered through this ministry is individual support made available to each participant. After a person “registers” with JAM they are assigned a “Champion”. This “Champion” contacts the participant and offers to be their personal advocate and resource.
While JAM is supported by The Church at BattleCreek, it is not exclusively for its members. Anyone is eligible and encouraged to participate. If you would like additional information, please shoot me an e-mail or give me a call. I would love to connect you, or someone you know, to this fantastic ministry. Also, I would love to hear from you, if you are interested in serving on our team.
Thanks!
