The Jerusalem Project was started by Pastor Michael Wakeman and his wife, Rhonda Wakeman, in 2013. Designed as a way to pull community groups together to complete service projects, the Jerusalem Project has become an annual event. Previous projects have included painting downtown Holden businesses, cleaning up yards, small residential construction projects, and trash pick-up.
Mike and Rhonda were named Citizens of the Year for their work on the Jerusalem Project by the Holden Optimist Club in 2013.
