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 as Christians, we 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 motivates us to view our work as our ministry, with all representatives of our community serving as ministers of the gospel, playing vital roles in expressing and teaching our beliefs (I Corinthians 12: 17-23). CRISTA’s mission is to make known the love of Jesus Christ through acts of service and ministry, utilizing every available method to reach people worldwide with the Gospel, leading them to accept Christ and grow in faith. We are a united family of Biblical Ministries inspired by a shared vision to serve and impact people of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds, both locally and globally, through excellence in service and operations. Our goal is to lead a healthy, sustainable organization that empowers its ministries to serve the needs of the world and share the Gospel, making disciples. Our workforce of staff and volunteers is called, committed, and faithful Christians committed to glorifying, honoring, and obeying the Lord in all we do. CRISTA leads five distinct ministries in alignment with our calling: from World Concern’s relief efforts worldwide, to CRISTA Media’s uplifting broadcasts, to CRISTA Camps’ joyful programs, to King’s Schools’ educational mission, and CRISTA Senior Living’s exceptional care. Our ministries aim to draw people into a transforming relationship with Christ.
