How to Become a JONAH Member

There are no “individual” members of JONAH because membership is held at the level of a faith community or non-profit organization. However, we strongly welcome new members and new strategic partners.

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 or send an e-mail for additional information.
