We believe this priesthood calling rests upon all Christians and is a foundational, spiritual practice of our CRISTA community.

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.
