Welcome to CRISTA Ministries. We are a family of ministries empowered to serve the needs of the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Based in Seattle, Washington with a reach both locally and globally, we exist to bring the good news of Jesus Christ through deed and word to individuals and cultures around the world. CRISTA is five distinct ministries, each with its own vision and mission, that are all part of the CRISTA family. Each ministry has answered the call to serve in its unique way, yet together we strive toward one goal—to draw people into a transforming relationship with Christ. World Concern brings emergency relief and sustainable development to nations around the globe; CRISTA Media radio stations broadcast uplifting messages and music; CRISTA Camps provide fun, friendship and faith to kids of all ages; King’s Schools inspires and equips students from preschool through high school to serve God for His glory; and CRISTA Senior Living enriches the lives of seniors through intergenerational community where our residents, their families, and our staff encounter the love of Christ. Whether traversing the globe or right in our backyard, CRISTA Ministries is empowered to meet the needs of those we serve. We love God by serving people—meeting practical and spiritual needs—so that those we serve will be built up in love, united in faith and maturing in Christ. We look forward to sharing our journey with you.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
CRISTA Ministries (“CRISTA”) is a Christian church community that exists to exercise and express its Christian beliefs. At the core of our Christian church community is the belief that as Christians, we are part of the priesthood of all believers, 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 priesthood 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 use every method available so that the people of the world may hear the Gospel, accept Christ as their Savior, and grow in their faith. We are a united family of Biblical Ministries inspired by a shared vision to serve and impact the young through the elderly, all cultures and backgrounds, in our own backyard and around the world through excellence in our service and operations. 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.
 
CRISTA leads five distinct ministries in alignment with our calling to draw people into a transforming relationship with Christ. From World Concern’s relief and development efforts around the globe; from CRISTA Media’s stations that broadcast uplifting messages and music through your radio dials to the fireside songs that bring joy to campers year-round at CRISTA Camps; from the young minds equipped with knowledge at King’s Schools to the seniors receiving exceptional care at CRISTA Senior Living. Whether traversing the globe or right in our backyard, the CRISTA family of ministries is empowered to meet the needs of those we serve with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
