Become a Jubilee Center

How do you apply to become a Jubilee Ministry?

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

  1. Contact Diocesan Jubilee Officer (DJO) Pamela Crooks, 619-992-3414.
  2. Download the application in the sidebar (pdf).
  3. Complete the application and return as indicated.

Plan to meet with your DJO 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.

Your DJO will share information about your ministry with Bishop Mathes, who will determine whether it meets the criteria established by Executive Council and may designate your ministry a Jubilee Ministry. A certificate of designation may be issued by the diocesan bishop for presentation.

Once designated by your bishop, the Office of Jubilee Ministry 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.

Jubilee = Working together for justice.
