Mission & Vision....Dream With Us

Jars of Clay is a non-profit outreach dedicated to helping the inner city poor. Our ministry provided hope by meeting both spiritual and tangible needs. We provide food, clothing, shelter, life rehabilitation, education and job training, biblical training and much, much more. We reach thousands of hurting and needy children, families and adults across all races and cultures each month. Our outreach strives to help solve moral decay, crime, drug, gang, homelessness and poverty epidemics that exist in Atlanta’s inner-city. The vision to see thousands of hurting people come to know a new life through the efforts of our staff, volunteers, and recently rehabilitated individuals whose lives have been dramatically changed. Jars of Clay works to partner with people all around the state to help us reach the lost and help meet the most basic and greatest needs.

Made up of many races, nationalities, and cultures, the Clay has an open door policy, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Jars of Clay reaches young children, teenagers, and adults by providing for the physical needs. Jars of Clay presents the message of hope, provides clothing, food and on-campus shelter and restores broken families. It is imperative that our dynamic outreach continue to reach the hurting in Atlanta. Our plan is to eradicate poverty from our city by offering hope instead of despair, truth instead of lies, and provision instead of hunger, cold and nakedness. The vision can only be realized through the continued prayer and support and financial giving of caring individuals who by the spirit see the impeding need to help the hurting. Only with this support can Jars of Clay continue doing good works in our great city. Where there was once darkness, there will soon be light. Where there was once despair, there will soon be hope…watch us!

Belief Statement

At Jars of Clay Outreach we believe:

…Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He was crucified, died and was buried. On the third day, He rose from the dead and later ascended into heaven, where He remains at the right hand of God Almighty.

…after death, eternal life begins either in heaven or hell. Where you spend eternity is based on your decision to make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior.

…that when the Rapture occurs, the dead in Christ will rise first, and then those who are alive and remain (those have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior) will be caught up to meet Him in the air.

…the Bible was written and inspired by God.

…faith is acting on the Word of God.

…in water baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

…in the authority of Jesus' name.

…in the indwelling of, and baptism of, the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

…in divine healing—the restoration of health to those who believe and act on the truths written in God's Word. We further believe that Jesus is our Healer and that by His stripes we are already healed.

…tithes and offerings should be freely given to your local church. The local church is the place of membership where God has called you to receive His Word on a consistent basis and to grow spiritually.

…in giving alms to the poor, sick, homeless and others in despair.
As we proclaim Jesus, the Christ, as head of the church and the manifested Word of God, our goal is to teach the Word of God with simplicity and understanding so that it may be applied to our everyday lives in a practical and effective manner; thereby being transformed from a regular member of society to a beautiful Jar of Clay that is molded by the Word and gives honor to God, infecting all those with whom we come into contact, ultimately making a mark that cannot be erased.
