The Jubilee House Community (JHC) is a non-sectarian faith based community that has been focused on service ministry since its beginnings in 1979 in North Carolina (USA) where the JHC, Inc. was organized. It was founded by Kathleen Murdock, Sarah Junkin Woodard, and Mike Woodard.

In the 1980s, the JHC's ministry was primarily to the poor and homeless in North Carolina. Projects included the creation and maintenance of shelters for the permanently homeless (street people), those caught in emergency housing crises, and battered women. In addition to these three specific shelters, related work included a Habitat for Humanity project, development of a local soup kitchen, medical and legal advocacy work on behalf of the poor, and community education on peace and justice issues.

In the 1990s, the focus of the work of the JHC shifted to Central America, primarily working in poverty ministries in Nicaragua.
