The Career Actions Ministry (CAM) is for both job seekers and employed "Good Samaritans" who want to help. CAM desires to bring the love of Jesus Christ, during these difficult times, to the growing number of MPPC members, their families and friends and all others who are facing the challenges of job transition.
For job seekers, we offer a multi-faceted program of large group meetings, small Success Teams, and the opportunity to join a web-based service called the Career Actions Network. More information.
For employed Good Samaritans, by signing up, you can easily submit job leads and facilitate connections between job seekers and hiring managers. More information.
In the Press: Read about Career Actions Ministry as featured in the January 2012 edition of "Christianity Today" -- Blessed Are the Jobless: How Ministries Aid the Unemployed.
Typically, First and Third Saturdays each month, 9:30-11:30 a.m.
CAM meets at Open Door Church Mountain View (the Mountain View Campus of MPPC) in the Fellowship Hall at 1667 Miramonte Avenue.
