About Earthen Vessels Outreach

Earthen Vessels Outreach is a Christ-centered organization that seeks to enhance and transform lives and the communities we serve (primarily the Bloomfield, East Liberty, Friendship, Garfield, and Lawrenceville neighborhoods of Pittsburgh) through its programs and people. At the core of who we are is a belief that this is a divine work that starts with our children and families and that this ministry must be holistic (ministering to the spirit, soul and body of the person). We take to heart the African Proverb "that it takes a community to raise a child".

Two of our passions are to serve the families (including children and struggling ones of our communities), and for reconciliation among all people.

1. We serve the family, children and struggling ones of our community through our people and programs. For children and families we offer Before-School Care, After-School Care, a Summer Day Camp, and other Youth Programs. We believe that it takes a community to raise a child and our vision is to build and strengthen this community in the East End through holistic programs and ministry that ministers to the whole person.

2. We work for reconciliation among all people: men and women, young and old, white and black, rich and poor. We do this by being a part of the greater community in all we do, and by finding ways to bring people and organizations together for the common good.
