Jubilee Ministry

As the world’s economies decline, we see the need to "feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit the imprisoned" (Matthew 25:35) more than ever both locally as well as internationally. Homes and pensions have been lost, and food banks are struggling to keep up with the increasing need. Jubilee Ministry is called to help the church live out its prophetic vision of empowering people to “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly before their god” (Micah 6:8).

By creating a direct and dynamic link between our theology and our ethics—the talk and walk of our faith—Jubilee Ministry involves your congregation in the important work of empowering people to change their lives. Our network of experienced justice and charity ministries shares best practices and proven techniques to take your ministry to the next level. Join us in the fight against poverty and inequity, and together we can lift up strong and empowered communities.
