Purpose

Vision: The men and women we serve will be ambassadors for Jesus in prisons, their homes, churches, and communities, leading others to Christ and making the Kingdom of God visible to the world!

Jubilee Aftercare offers a structured, residential environment for those affected by incarceration. With Christ at the center, we seek to provide an individualized and holistic opportunity for life change. This includes addressing the deep needs of individuals caught in the cycles of incarceration, addiction, and unhealthy relationships.


Mission statement

We exist to serve those affected by incarceration by being Ambassadors of Life Change through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.


Statement of faith

God, infinite and perfect, is the one and only true God who exists as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. Jesus, the only perfect man, is the Son of God incarnate, the divine Savior for all humankind and the Lord of all creation. The Holy Spirit dwells in redeemed humanity as Sanctifier, Comforter, and Guide. The Holy Bible is the written Word of God, inerrant in the original, authentic, and authoritative for all humankind.

All humanity is sinful by nature and separated from God. We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Rom 10:9-10; 1 Cor. 6:9-11). As redeemed children of God, each has the privilege and responsibility to share the Gospel and demonstrate Christ's love. As Jesus states in Mark 12:30-31 (NAS) "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength...You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these."

History

In 1972, Jubilee began as a youth revival. Young people were prompted to enter the prison and witness, sharing testimony to what God had done in their lives and the freedom available to all who will claim salvation through Jesus Christ.
