The Empowerment Center provides a vast array of services for children, youth, adults and seniors.

| The Empowerment Center's three main components are: full gymnasium (that may be used as a multipurpose area), four large Internet ready classrooms (training and skill development), and a commerical kitchen (catering services and feeding programs). | ||
| Kairos negotiated a partnership with Crossland High School Culinary Arts Department (Department) that permits the department youths to earn valuable funds for college and personal support and gain invaluable job skills experience. The Department provides culinary arts classes and participates in catering and feeding programs. The Department provides catering support for Kairos, NCBC and other interested individuals, organizations and businesses. | ||
