About Us
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged." — Joshua 1:9
Why Joshua Tree? What is a Joshua tree?
Often overlooked, the Joshua tree's rugged beauty and resilience in the harsh desert environment is a testament to its strength. Similarly, individuals with disabilities possess an inner strength forged through perseverance and the courage to overcome challenges. They possess unique talents and a unique perspective that enriches our world.
At Joshua Tree Service Group, we believe in unlocking that potential. We are dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities across Georgia and Tennessee to find meaningful employment, where they can thrive, contribute, and live fulfilling lives. We celebrate their unique gifts and help them build a future where their abilities shine. We are an independent, faith-based service provider, and we believe that everyone has a purpose.
To us, it's not just something we do, it's who we are.

Our History
Our “Core Four” Values
These principles are the driving force behind everything we do. A commitment to making these values your daily driving force is expected of all team members:
1. Strive for Excellence
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of quality and integrity in everything we do. For every employee, striving for excellence means bringing your best effort to work each day, maintaining meticulous attention to detail, and continuously seeking ways to elevate the level of care and service we deliver to our clients, partners, and communities.
2. Work with Confidence
We approach our daily responsibilities with a strong sense of purpose, professionalism, and resilience. Working with confidence means taking full ownership of your assigned territory or role, trusting your training, making sound operational decisions, and remaining solution-oriented when navigating unexpected workplace challenges.
3. Practice Discipline
Consistent, reliable execution is the foundation of our organizational impact. Practicing discipline company-wide means managing your schedule effectively, holding yourself personally accountable to your performance metrics, and strictly adhering to operational guidelines—including the prompt, accurate completion of all required documentation, tracking, and regulatory compliance timelines.
4. Lead with Love
Leadership is an action, not a job title; every team member is expected to lead by example through a servant-hearted approach. Leading with love means treating colleagues, clients, and community partners with deep empathy and respect, resolving internal conflicts through direct and constructive communication, and actively protecting a positive, gossip-free work environment.
