| Introduction | •We believe that God is a God of both Justice and Mercy. •We believe that when Christ said the church was to be his body He meant that He will act through us in very real and practical ways – using our hands, feet, eyes, mouths and hearts to accomplish his work and bring about his Kingdom. •We believe that God has a heart for the poor and calls believers to love one another in practical, everyday ways. •We believe that a key process in coming to understand God’s heart and his love for us is living among the poor and the oppressed, in intentional community with other believers and in learning to love by sharing life and serving one another and those in our neighborhood. •We believe that God calls believers to “love your neighbor as yourself”, and that taking care of oneself is an essential part of loving one’s neighbors. •We believe that we serve a God of generosity who is more than able to provide all that we need and ask for, who gives extravagantly, and who encourages us to give in the same way. |
| Interests | The Jubilee House of South Atlanta is committed to working for the transformation of the South Atlanta community by living together and supporting one another in a Christ-centered home rooted in Christian justice and unconditional love. We are committed to living intentionally as the body of Christ, allowing God to use us to fulfill His mission of love and service in words and actions. We are dedicated to building a spiritual house that is rooted in simplicity, compassion, and faith. We will act as a bridge between God and neighbor, participating in the body of Christ by offering ourselves as spiritual and physical resources for the men, women and youth swept up in the storms of poverty, violence and addiction. |
