CRISTA Ministries / Oyster

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.
