Jabez College and Career Group
The Jabez Group is for all young adults—either in college or working—to learn about The Bible and how it relates to our everyday lives. In addition to learning about God, we also provide the opportunity to make new friends and form new relationships.
The name “Jabez” was chosen for the group because of The Prayer of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:10:
"He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request." 1 Chronicles 4:10, New Living Translation
Expanding borders in the world is a part of this time in a young person’s life, and opportunities are also needed to enlarge personal territory in God’s Word to help make those important decisions. In the years immediately following high school, a tremendous number of important decisions are being made that will affect the rest of your life! The Jabez Group is designed to help you transition into your new roles in the world.
