At the Heart of Christian Men's Life Skills
CMLS has served hundreds of class members and alumni over the years.The ministry is blessed with a dedicated network of mentors and supporters.
CMLS has served to help change men’s lives for over two decades.
Christian Men's Life Skills (formerly Christian Men’s Job Corps) was formally established in May 2004. What began as a small men’s help ministry has grown into a fully established men’s ministry endorsed by the courts and the community and fully supported by donations.
It is a model across the state and is known to have programs that make lasting and meaningful changes in men, their families and the community. The ministry has future plans to expand the program offerings to other counties.
Founding Board members Dave Weekley, Bill Blackburn, Mike Lowe, Nick Ramos, Pat Patillo, Andy Sanchez, John Miller and Ken O’Neal began a work that has become a true light in the darkness in the Hill Country offering the hope that we have in Christ. Several of these men still serve this vital 501(c)(3) ministry.
Leading with compassion and integrity.
Tom Jones was called to serve the Christian Men's Life Skills Ministry as Executive Director in May of 2005.
“It has been a God inspired call and a journey God has placed me and my family on. Understanding that He qualifies the called is a true testimonial statement in my life. Just like many of God’s children, I enjoyed serving on my terms with my understanding of how things should come to be. “
Tom states that even after achieving an extensive education and earning numerous titles, he is just a mere vessel to be used as God directs. He is the author of our faith and uses us to do His will.
“At CMJC, we have seen true evidence of His direction as to how He would have us serve through this ministry. God has grown each of our leadership in this ministry to teach according to His will. As Director, I just enjoy being in His presence as men grow,” Tom says.
