The Gaithersburg Presbyterian Church (GPC)
Employment Support Group provides a supportive Christian environment for those
who are unemployed, about to be unemployed, underemployed, or seeking a career
change. The group meets twice a month, second Monday
and fourth Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in
Room 202, is free, confidential, and open to the
public. Meetings last about an
hour.
All are welcome!
Facilitated by lay members with support from
other job seekers, the meetings begin and end with prayer and include roundtable
discussions on each person’s situation, then group discussions on employment
resources, job hunting techniques, networking, and interviewing. We bring Jesus
into employment-related decisions to encourage each other and meet both
practical and spiritual needs.
