Who We Are
Our mission is to establish churches in least-reached communities—those without access to a fellowship of believers that proclaims the gospel in their language and in a culturally relevant way.
We exist because our Savior is worthy of worship, yet over 40% of the world’s people can’t glorify His name because they’re cut off from the good news of Christ. Why? Because their communities don’t yet have churches that proclaim the gospel in their language and in a way that’s relevant in their culture. They are least-reached.
That’s why Christar seeks to see churches not merely started but firmly established so they can continue to multiply the reach of the gospel long after our workers are gone. As we pursue this mission, we partner with local congregations to see workers sent “in a manner worthy of God” (3 John 1:6). This involves providing structure that facilitates effective service, strategy that guides their efforts and support that helps them thrive.
Christar is anchored in a rich heritage spanning many countries, several agencies and numerous types of ministry. The earliest branches of our church-planting efforts reach back to 1909, and since then, Christar workers have proclaimed the good news of Jesus in places where His name wasn’t yet known. Our common passion has been to see least-reached people follow Jesus and gather to worship Him in their communities. This same purpose continues to motivate us today and into the future.
Christar workers serve among the least-reached in over 25 countries worldwide.
