Welcome to CRISTA. CRISTA is 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 transform lives with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through sustainable, Biblical Christian ministries.
CRISTA is five distinct ministries, each with their own vision and mission. And yet, they are all part of the CRISTA family. Each ministry has answered the call to serve in their unique way, striving together toward one goal—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.
Loving 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.
