Church employees find joy and satisfaction in using their unique talents and abilities to further the Lord’s work. From the IT professional who develops an app that sends the gospel message worldwide to the facilities manager who maintains our buildings and gives Church members places to worship, teach, learn, and receive sacred ordinances, our employees seek innovative ways to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world.

Does this group help people in need? Is the Pope Catholic? Catholic Charities USA, one the nation's largest not-for-profit groups, is a network of some 175 Catholic charity agencies nationwide that work to end poverty, support families, and strengthen communities. It helps more than 7 million people each year by providing disaster assistance, emergency financial aid, food services, health clinics, housing services, and mental health counseling. Catholic Charities spends about 90% of its income on program costs; most of its funding (60%) comes from the US government. Although the group was officially founded in 1910, it traces its roots to 1727 when French nuns started an orphanage in New Orleans.

We believe a job is something you do, but a calling is who you are. God calls people from a wide range of backgrounds to work at Life.Church, but He has us all here for one reason: to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. We hope this is where your skills, talents, and passions meet. God is telling a story here, and you can be part of it.

Cru is a caring community passionate about connecting people to Jesus Christ. Our purpose is helping to fulfill the Great Commission in the power of the Holy Spirit by winning people to faith in Jesus Christ, building them in their faith and sending them to win and build others and helping the body of Christ to do evangelism and discipleship through a variety of creative ways. Cru was originally founded as Campus Crusade for Christ in 1951, when Bill and Vonette Bright began the ministry on the UCLA campus. God had given him a vision portraying the total fulfillment of the Great Commission throughout the world. We are only a part of God’s workforce to accomplish that, but we are passionate about our part and how we can help others achieve their parts. From the beginning we have sought to be a caring community as well as a community on mission.

Christian Care Ministry administers the Medi-Share program. Medi-Share is a community of Christians who share each other’s unexpected medical burdens, much like the early church in Acts. As a faith-based healthcare sharing ministry, members pray for each other and have agreed to share in expenses that align with their Christian faith. Unlike insurance, Medi-Share is based on Biblical stewardship and responsibility---to God and each other. It is an extension of the practice of our Christian faith. Since 1993, more than $5.6 billion in healthcare costs have been shared or discounted. Now, more than 30 years after its inception, Medi-Share is the nation’s largest health care sharing community with nearly 400,000 members.

The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) gives a clear picture of God’s desire for us to help those in desperate need wherever we find them. After describing how the Samaritan rescued a hurting man whom others had passed by, Jesus told His hearers, “Go and do likewise.” For over 40 years, Samaritan’s Purse has done our utmost to follow Christ’s command by going to the aid of the world’s poor, sick, and suffering. We are an effective means of reaching hurting people in countries around the world with food, medicine, and other assistance in the Name of Jesus Christ. This, in turn, earns us a hearing for the Gospel, the Good News of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Founded in Pennsylvania in 1967, The Bair Foundation Child & Family Ministries has provided quality care and services to children, youth and families through a myriad of effective programs that meet identified needs.

Through Adoption, Legal Guardianship or Reunification, children can move toward permanency. Bair offers services such as Intensive In-Home Services, Outpatient Services, and a Multi-Systemic treatment approach to stabilize children in the home setting and decrease the risk of placement outside of the home.
