Teachers are excited as we begin 2012. We have 12 women participating in Phase One of the program and 11 women in Phase Two. We’re happy to welcome Mary McCauley as our new coordinator of the Bible Study curriculum as well as teaching part of the Bible study in the Phase One classes. We also welcome Doris Whiddon as a new teacher in the Phase Two classes.

We also have the privilege of working with 3 interns, 2 from Baylor and 1 from Tarleton.

This will be a great semester!

Growth at CWJC

Renee — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:34:49 +0000

CWJC continues to grow. With our expansion, it is necessary to have a second full-time staff person. Our new Associate Director, Becky Ellison, joined our staff on January 9. She’ll be responsible for coordinating the education program and the journey partner program and will oversee the alumni program. We are grateful to Elaine George who has served as the part-time Program Director the last two years. She did a great job of getting our new Phase One started and made some changes to the Phase Two program that have resulted in our women being better prepared to continue their education or to enter the work force.

Why Come to CWJC?

Women come to CWJC for all kinds of reasons. The main reason they come is for the computer classes but they get so much more.

What have you learned from your time at CWJC?

Park Lake Drive Baptist Christmas Party 2011

Renee — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:19:45 +0000

Park Lake Drive Baptist Church provided a wonderful Christmas party again this year for our CWJC mothers. Families in the church adopted one of our families and provided gifts for the children as well as a great party where the church members were able to meet and visit with our CWJC women. Even Santa and his elves made an appearance which thrilled the children.
