Pastors Dr. Larry and Dr. Yolanda Clagon founded the Jireh Empowerment Outreach Center in 2005. In the year of 1996, they started the Loving Arms Childcare Center which was located in a drug-infested area. Through much prayer and determination, that area was cleaned from drugs.
They always had the perseverance to impact change and enhance their community through the innovative and creative thinking and guidance of God. Through God’s grace, they were able to meet the needs of the underserved.
The food pantry feeds over 200 families in the community, as well as, a clothes closet that is also open to the community to be able to dress for job interviews and get everyday clothes.
The JEOC is the home to the Tabernacle Bible College where you can earn a degree in divinity, early childhood education and so much more.
Dr. Larry and Dr. Yolanda Clagon firmly believe that by meeting the immediate needs of the man they are able to minister to the whole man. The Clagons forever remain kingdom-minded and strive every day to be pleasing in the sight of God all while not just being emotionally stirred but intellectually respected.
