Join the Mission: Fresh Start Needs You!​

At Fresh Start Training Center, lives are being transformed, chains are being broken, and men are finding true freedom in Christ. But this mission cannot continue without dedicated workers who are willing to serve, disciple, and pour into the lives of those seeking restoration.

Right now, we are in urgent need of staff members who are called to discipleship, passionate about serving others, and committed to biblical principles.

Fresh Start is more than just a program—it’s a ministry that brings lasting change to individuals who are ready to turn their lives around. We provide a structured environment where men can grow in their faith, learn responsibility, and experience the power of God’s redeeming love. However, none of this is possible without the hands and hearts of faithful staff members willing to walk alongside them.

Why Serve at Fresh Start?

  • Eternal Impact: Be a part of God’s work in transforming lives for eternity.

  • Discipleship & Growth: Grow spiritually as you help guide others in their faith journey.

  • Meaningful Community: Join a team of like-minded believers who are committed to the same mission.

  • Practical Ministry Experience: Gain hands-on ministry experience in a structured, Christ-centered environment.

  • Personal Transformation: Experience growth in your own walk with Christ as you invest in the lives of others.

Who Are We Looking For?

We need men and women of faith who are willing to step into the role of mentors, leaders, and encouragers. Whether you have experience in counseling, teaching, mentoring, maintenance, administration, or simply a heart for serving others, there is a place for you here.

  • Director Of Client Care
  • Couple for Marriage Counseling
