My Story…
Hi friends! This May I will be running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon to support Urban Impact Foundation, a local ministry focused on sharing the love of Jesus with urban youth through a variety of discipleship programs. I’d love to have your support- 100% of your donation is sent to UIF to help advance their outreach. Read below for more details about the organization.
Urban Impact was founded in 1995 by Pastor Ed and Tammy Glover after they felt a calling to reach youth in their neighborhood — the North Side of Pittsburgh. Over the past 30 years, we have grown to a staff of 45+ missionaries who all reside on the North Side and run programs in Athletics, Education, Performing Arts, and Options. This past year, we reached 2,250 students and 1,133 people gave their lives to Christ during our programs or events. We look forward to many more years serving our community.
Mission Statement: Our mission is to do our part in fulfilling Christ’s Great Commission on the North Side of Pittsburgh by following His model of holistic ministry by investing in the lives of at-risk children, youth, and their families in order to develop responsible followers of Christ.
Vision Statement: We desire to see lives holistically transformed in our community one person, one family, and one block at a time who, in turn, make a powerful impact locally and globally for Jesus Christ.
