We are half way through our February classes!

Wow! We are half way through our February classes and they are going great...new classes, new instructors and new participants. We are extremely busy and loving every minute of it!

Computer classes are very encouraging; the ladies are excited about the new skills they are learning. With the help of our new computer instructor, Jessica Morris, we have broken the classes down into manageable components so that all students are working at a pace that is challenging but not discouraging.

We have added phone skills and mastering office equipment to our schedule. Ms Angela Samson is working hard to equip the ladies with this basic knowledge that is so important in the high tech world in which we live.

Mr. Billy Guffey is teaching a blogging class for a fun way to continue honing computer skills. The ladies really enjoy this class and are improving their computer knowledge while having a great time.

 Ms. Connie Duvall is doing a fabulous job as always with her classes; Self- Enrichment, Finance and Cooking. We feel these basic life skills classes are necessary in giving the ladies that extra boost of confidence they need to succeed. 

Ms. Erika Adams continues to prepare the ladies for the workplace with her Job Readiness Classes. In this class Ms. Erika takes the ladies through the process of pre-career preparation. They evaluate their strengths and skills and build a statue of rapport that highlights them as a valued employee. The Job Readiness class equips the girls with a resume and cover letter before leaving the class and allows the girls to discover all options of employment instead of the limited employment concept.

I cannot say enough about the team God has put into place to speak into the lives of the ladies we are so privileged to work with everyday. Without the devotion and dedication of these people, the center would be just another place to come, go through the motions and go home; but because of the love and compassion that these individuals bring with them each and every day, we are seeing lives changed and dreams realized.


We have a great group of hard working ladies participating in the program. These women are setting short and long term goals and devising plans to make it happen!

 I invite you to stop and visit, ask questions and see firsthand the steps Esther House Women’s Empowerment Center is taking to improve the quality of the individuals we serve.

Many Blessings,
Kelly Guffey, Founder/Director
