About Jubilee Community Center & The Sanctuary

Building a creative, connected Montgomery through art, culture, and shared spaces

Jubilee Community Center is a nonprofit working to strengthen Montgomery’s cultural and creative ecosystem. Our historic home — The Sanctuary — is where community, storytelling, arts, and celebration come together.

Our Mission

Mission & Values

JCC exists to build community power through arts, culture, place-making, and shared experiences.

We believe creativity should be accessible to everyone — and that nurturing local talent strengthens our city, our economy, and our sense of belonging.

The Sanctuary — Our Home

A Safe Place for Art

The Sanctuary is a former Gothic Revival church built in Montgomery’s historic Cottage Hill neighborhood.

Today, it serves as a flexible hub for concerts, conversations, cultural programs, and celebrations — welcoming more than 100 community gatherings each year.
