About JCLC

Leadership
Pastor Jerry and his wife Amy saw the great need amongst boy and girls living in single parent homes — and their need for Christ-centered mentorship, love and support.
Founded in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Joshua & Caleb Leadership Center serves boys, girls and their mothers in one of the neediest cities of America – Cleveland, Ohio.
They welcome you to reach out to learn more about this vital and growing ministry to boys and girls – and their mothers.
