The application process for becoming designated as a Jubilee Ministry is straightforward.

1. First, contact your Diocesan Jubilee Officer (DJO) for an application, or download an application at the bottom of this page. If your diocese does not have a DJO, contact the Advocacy Center by email , phone or send your request by mail to:
   
   The Episcopal Church Center
   815 Second Avenue
   New York, NY 10017
   Attn: Office of Jubilee Ministry
   Phone 800-334-7626
   
2. Complete the application and return as indicated.
   
3. Plan to meet with your DJO or a representative of Jubilee Ministry. During your meeting you will have the opportunity to share your ministry and tell the story of how your work helps to meet basic human needs and build a just society. You may also introduce key members of your staff and/or leadership committee, and ask any questions you may have about Jubilee Ministry.
   
4. The DJO or Jubilee Ministry representative will share information about your ministry with the bishop of your diocese, who will determine whether it meets the criteria established by Executve Council and may designate your ministry a Jubilee Ministry. A Certificate of Designation may be issued by the Diocesan Bishop for presentation.
   
5. Once designated by your bishop, the Advocacy Center will share the story of your ministry with the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church seeking affirmation as a newly-designated Jubilee Ministry. A Certificate of Affirmation will be issued by the Presiding Officers on behalf of the Executive Council for presentation.
   
6. Welcome to the Jubilee Ministry network! Plan to participate in scheduled activities by the Jubilee Ministry network in your diocese, and in those events offered provincially or church-wide when you are able.

Working together for justice.
