History of Organization:The Lazarus Center is a faith-based, community service organization, founded in 1988 and incorporated in 1990 as a 501( C)(3) non-profit, interdenominational agency. The Lazarus Center offices are located in the former steel town of Ambridge, situated on the eastern bank of the Ohio River in southwestern Pennsylvania, about 15 miles from downtown Pittsburgh. The Lazarus Center's mission to "teach, support and equip people to experience the joy and wholeness that God intends for all" is well-suited to this distressed region. Steel mill closings in the late 1970s caused the number of jobs in the area to plummet from 15,000 to 1,500, with 20 percent of the current residents of the borough of Ambridge living below the poverty level (US EPA Brownfields Assessment report, May 2002). Restoring lives and disrupted families is critical.
