Welcome to Jubilee MinistriesChrist Episcopal Church, designated by the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church as a Jubilee Ministry Center since 1997, actively engages in the mission of Jubilee to make a direct link between theology and faith practice – to walk the talk of our faith. We strive through Jubilee Ministries to live the ways of Matthew 25:
Jubilee Ministries is not just a commission of a few people who meet for monthly chats on troubling issues. It functions as a Christ Church action resource hub to lift up, coordinate and support a growing group of ministries. Jubilee Ministries provides opportunities and invites participation of all people in our congregation – young, old and everyone in-between to serve people in our community and across the globe through hands on, relational and often, ecumenical ministry and advocacy with the poor and oppressed.
Chairperson Leslee Sandberg notes: "It is all of us -- serving Christ through the people we meet -- whether it is a flooded home, a person in prison, a hungry woman, a child who can't read, a person with cancer, someone who cannot speak for himself, people with AIDS living on less than a dollar a day, a person in the hospital... It is Matthew 25!"
