Company Overview

CRISTA Ministries (“CRISTA”) is a Christian church community that exists to exercise and express its Christian beliefs. At the core of our community is the belief that all Christians are part of the priesthood of all believers, as set forth in I Peter 2. We believe this priesthood calling rests upon all Christians and is a foundational spiritual practice of our CRISTA community. This calling evokes within us the response to view our work as our ministry. We believe that all representatives of our community are ministers of the gospel and play equally important roles in exercising, expressing, and teaching our beliefs (I Corinthians 12: 17-23).

CRISTA exists to make known the love of Jesus Christ through demonstrated works of service and ministry. We utilize every available method so that the people of the world may hear the Gospel, accept Christ as their Savior, and grow in their faith.

By leading a healthy and sustainable organization, CRISTA empowers its ministries to serve the needs of the world and share the Gospel, making disciples. Our commitment is to glorify, honor, and obey the Lord in all we do through a workforce of ministers: our staff and volunteers who are called, committed, and faithful Christians.
