Jubilee Project

Contact: Martha Jo Payne

The Jubilee Project in Hancock County, Tennessee includes ministries of youth development with at-risk youth, small business development with low-income craft and farm producers, providing leadership and spiritual development for youth and adults, and assisting community efforts in health care, education, recreation, and the arts. Bethel UMC has provided funding for this mission for the past 4 years.

The Jubilee Project was begun by United Methodists in 1991, and it has expanded to include many others, joining together to help people in the name of Jesus Christ, by helping them meet their spiritual, economic, social and physical needs.

Jubilee Project's Vision is "to assist in the empowerment of people in Hancock County Tennessee, (especially those with the greatest needs), through enhancement of self-worth, abilities and opportunities. We do this as an inclusive, community-based organization initiated and guided by Christian values and relationships." Jubilee Project is open to everyone, regardless of religion, faith, creed, gender or race.
