Thousands of women have found hope for their future through Christian Women’s Job Corps, a growing international program that operates as a ministry of Women’s Missionary Union (WMU), the largest Protestant missions organization for women in the world.
Christian Women’s Job Corps of Granbury, Inc. (CWJC) began as a vision from Carol Seay, Executive Director, to help women in need in our community to go from dependency to self-sufficiency by obtaining life and job skills. In November 2001, four women attended CWJC National Certification Training to become certified Site Coordinators, which is required to establish a CWJC site.
Over the next 21 months, these women and a small group of leaders met regularly to develop and plan a customized CWJC program that would meet the specific needs of women in Hood County.
CWJC of Granbury has based its organizational structure on a successful national model. Although each CWJC site is autonomous, they share a common purpose — helping women to meet their dreams of independence from poverty and welfare and other unfortunate circumstances.
CWJC of Granbury is operated by a volunteer

Since opening its doors on January 6, 2003, CWJC of Granbury has become known as a reliable community agency that serves women of all ages, race and religious backgrounds.
