Becoming a Church Partner

Churches are the heartbeat of our ministry. These organizations provide us with thousands of volunteers who put their faith to action daily. The scriptures instruct us to make room in our lives to care for strangers and welcome one another into our homes and our lives. Serving one another is akin to serving Christ.

Church leaders can begin an employment ministry and support our Better Jobs program, empowering families to reach financial independence. We’re seeking churches to:

Organize and host job fairs: Connect hundreds of job seekers with employment opportunities, church volunteers and community resources.
Set up neighborhood hiring events: Reach specific populations or communities and connect them to targeted employment opportunities and resources.
Offer workshops on job readiness: Prepare job seekers ahead of your job fairs, through volunteer job coaches, or provide ongoing support with skill-building programs throughout the year.

There’s no single “right way” to run a job ministry. Church leaders determine the best configuration for their congregations, and the Better Together staff offers the professional training and tools needed to bring it to fruition.

You can also give your congregation the chance to grow spiritually, show kindness and change society for the better. Churches can help our Better Jobs program by:

Better Together does the rest. We provide, training, project management, tools, resources, templates and professional ongoing support as they start up a job ministry within their church.

What We DO

What You Do

Nationwide Day of Second Chances

Created by Better Together, the Nationwide Day of Second Chances is a day when churches, volunteers, local businesses and nonprofits across the United States band together to host job fairs for neighbors who face employment barriers such as incarceration.

Each year, 650,000 Americans are released from prison – over 10,000 people a week. These are single moms, fathers, teenagers, veterans and recovering addicts. With no job prospects, two-thirds of them will lose hope and return to prison.

However, we believe everyone has a gift they can use to make society better, if given a chance. Get involved and learn more about this movement for second chances!

What Church Partners Say

"Better Together provided a tremendous infusion of hope for us and many of our neighbors. Their partnership with a couple of churches and neighborhood nonprofits brought a job fair to the neighborhood. We didn’t know quite what to expect, only that a lot of our neighbors need jobs and don’t have the social networks that help most people find employment. We also knew many of our neighbors would face the immediate obstacle of some criminal background. But the Better Together team walked hand-in-hand with us, providing planning expertise, resources, and a healthy dose of encouragement. That sense of hope grew palpable on the day of the job fair. Residents lined up around the block waiting to seize hope! By the time the day was over, nearly 400 members of our inner-city community came for an opportunity to enter the workforce and change their lives!”

"Over the past several years Riverside church has hosted a yearly initiative raising awareness and ways to engage the issue of mass incarceration. This year our theme has been 'Restoring the Humanity to Returning Citizens'. Hosting this job fair is just another way for us to show that all men and women are made in the image of God and we must support returning citizens as they transition back into the community."

“We at "Hope of Glory" believe that prayer changes things and that as we are instructed "ought to always pray without ceasing", however if we only pray and not do what we can to help a person overcome the obstacles holding them back. We aren't serving that person as well as we can. We can continue to give handouts or give an individual a hand up, empowering them to the actions to go forward and get what they need for themselves (Acts 3:1-7) and God receives glory by it.”

“Cape Christian has been involved in the community for over 30 years. Helping people is our mission, and the virtual job fair was an opportunity to do just that. One of our goals is to add value everywhere. Connecting people to job opportunities is a place where we could add value right here with our neighbors and our community. In Southwest Florida, and across the country there was such a need. People had lost their jobs due to COVID 19. The feelings of loss and darkness were over so many. In loving people, we look for opportunities to come alongside and help when people need it the most. Partnering with Better Together was an amazing opportunity to help people in a very tangible way. We are so excited that the virtual job fair was such a success.”

“Centerpoint Community Church’s mission is to lovingly guide people into a life giving relationship with Jesus Christ. We seek to do that in practical ways all the time. Getting involved in Better Together Second Chance job fair is just another way for us to reach out to our community and show them that there is hope in Christ. We are very excited to see who God will bring in and who will find hope when everything around us seems so hopeless.”
