Ecumenical Ministries is a non-denominational, comprehensive social service agency providing aid to low-income families and individuals in Baldwin County, Alabama for more than 50 years. We address the urgent financial and material needs of our clients and provide a hopeful path to self-sufficiency and long-term economic stability.
JSUMC has a history of strong support for many of EMI's programs. JSUMC have volunteers who drive a Meals on Wheels route; participate in the annual Chili for Charity fund raiser; sponsor over 40 children for Christmas Sharing; get out their hammers & saws for a Repair Baldwin homeowner and collect & deliver food to the Pantry. Recently JSUMC members purchased a table at the Golden Gala celebrating EMI's remarkable past and promising future. In addition to participating in all these programs, many members/friends from JSUMC make direct financial contributions to help insure that promising future.
Founded in 2008 by Dr. Lorena Hunt, a long time member of Jubilee Shores UMC, the mission of Under His Wings is to provide a loving Christian home for at-risk teenage girls, connect them to who they are in the eyes of God and equip them with life skills essential to wholeness.
Jubilee Shores UMC is proud to be just one of the many churches and organizations that provide support to Under His Wings, including donations from special events and collections, as well as volunteers that tutor and nurture these young girls
Formally known as The United Methodist Children's Home, Embrace Kids makes a real difference in the lives of children. It has helped transform the lives of thousands of hurting children since 1890. Many of our alumni are now successful adults who are giving back to the communities which gave to them. The need continues as there are thousands of other children across Alabama and Florida who require our help. Supporting Embrace Kids, YOU can make a life changing difference.

Prodisee Pantry's mission is simply based on the Scripture, “I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” (Matthew 25:35). Families facing tough financial times are provided with food and information on additional support provided by our community partners. As a faith-based organization, the goal for Prodisee Pantry and the desire of its volunteer staff is to ease the hunger pains of Baldwin County residents in need.
JSUMC has participated in one of the major fundraisers for the Pantry, Turkey Trot. This is a race & walk that raises money to pay for the turkeys provided over the holiday season. Our volunteers set up the children's area on the day of the race, providing games, prizes and treats.
In addition to having a food drive, JSUMC has also participated in their "Fill the Plate" fundraiser which collects monetary donations. The date for this event has been set and we should have details of how you can help available soon.
