How do I get my baby dedicated?
Jubilee dedicates infants for those families who would like to make a public and symbolic acknowledgement of God's sovereignty over the child and the parents, asking for grace and wisdom in carrying out their responsibilities. Baby Dedications are usually scheduled the first Sunday of each month and conducted during service. If interested, please...

How do I get a pastor to officiate at my wedding?
The beauty and majesty of a wedding day is awe-inspiring, yet it is one day. The covenant of marriage is sacred and should not be entered into lightly by the parties involved. Couples desiring one of our pastors to officiate are asked to plan a minimum of nine months in advance and to schedule five premarital counseling sessions ($295 payable to Jubilee).

How do I volunteer?

Because of our recent growth, Jubilee World Outreach has an ever-increasing need within the Children and Youth Ministries and we would love to help you get connected where your gifts will be utilized to impact children.

How do I become a member?
We are excited that you are looking for a church home. We see membership as a commitment to the family here at Jubilee World Outreach and we invite you to join us. As a true Christian community we believe in these essential truths:

The church is a family: "...you are a member of God's very own family... and you belong in God's household with every other Christian." Ephesians 2:19 (LB)
God expects me to be a member of a family.
A Christian without a church family is an orphan.
As with any family there are responsibilities that must be shared.
- The material needs of the church (Acts 6:1-5)
- Partnering with the Lord in the numerical and spiritual growth of the church (Acts 2:42-47, Isaiah 66:8)
- Spiritual warfare for one another and the ministry (Galatians 6:1)
- The spiritual and material support of leadership (Hebrews 13:7, Galatians 6:6)
- The mission of the church at home and abroad (Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8)

New Membership Seminars are offered periodically at Jubilee depending on the need. If you are interested and want to participate, please visit the Info Center or call the church office.

Note: For those who are coming from another church, we trust that you have prayed and have been released by your pastors to leave. If not, we strongly encourage you talk with them as they are still the shepherds over you.

What is the Life Journal and how do I use it?
Following a bible reading program is important for accountability, discipline, and for systematic instruction in God's Word. The Life Journal is a tool to help you read through the Bible once each year and through the New Testament twice, and more importantly, record what lesson God has revealed to you.

What is a Life Group?
A Life Group is a small group which meets at a host family's home every other Sunday evening and receives the same ministerial message as other Life Groups meeting elsewhere throughout the area. In a large and growing church, people tend to fall through the cracks, assigning people to a Life Group prevents any member from being lost in the numbers. For more information, see the Life Group Page.
