a Christ-centered, job networking ministry

Crossroads Career Network Ministry at Mount Paran Church is a Christ-centered, job networking ministry focused toward those who are unemployed, mis-employed, considering a change or seeking God’s calling in their careers. Biblically based, our Crossroads program seeks to help you achieve a successful crossroad in your career.

The Crossroads Career Network Ministry at Mount Paran is eager to be of service to you.

 

Monthly Meeting

The Crossroads team at Mount Paran offers a 2-hour program intended to touch on some of the many challenges of the career search. The evening meeting offers a time of devotion and prayer, keynote speakers presenting a broad variety of career-related topics, pointers on using the Internet to find hidden jobs, and a time for networking with the volunteers and attendees. No meeting in July.
