The Rev. Capt. Herb Bailey II

Transitional Deacon

The Rev. Capt. Herb Bailey II

Herb is the executive ministry director of Uncommon Grounds Café in Aliquippa, a ministry of Church Army USA, and is the Pittsburgh area director for Church Army USA, an outreach serving a diverse community through food, the arts, street ministry, jail ministry, training of churches, and community development. Many of the people Herb serves struggle with isolation due to addiction, depression, or co-occurring conditions. Additionally, Herb is on executive committees for both The Matthew 25 Gathering and the Anglican Church in North America.

 

He previously worked as the Arts and Assimilation Pastor in Nashville, and as an Associate Director of Pastoral Care at a rehab facility until he heard the call from God in November 2013 to come be a part of the ministry at Uncommon Grounds Café.

 

Herb and his wife, Angel, have four daughters and three grandchildren. Together they bring to bear the call to be “agents of reconciliation” in all of their interactions with those both inside and outside of the café.
