If your faith community or non-profit organization would like to become a JONAH member, or would like to learn more about JONAH membership, please contact the JONAH Community Organizer at (269) 660-1950. You may also send an e-mail to the JONAH Community Organizer for additional information.

To learn more about JONAH, click one of the links on the left or call us at (269) 660-1950 during normal business hours. You may also visit our office at 111 E. Michigan Ave., Battle Creek, MI 49014. (See map.)
