...these were the words our founder "heard" in response to his prayer. For years he'd felt the increasing nudge to "do something more" with his growing, original-design Realistic Crucifix side business. The prayer - what was the "more" God would have him do?
Christ Crucified's mission is to make Jesus Christ known and loved through the Passion.
"We preach Christ crucified..."
1 Corinthians 1:23
1 Corinthians 1:23
Suffering is the inevitable condition of fallen humanity. Without Christ, people and societies inevitably descend into hopelessness, sin, and despair. Christ's Passion is the ultimate act of mercy and redemption, overcoming death and giving meaning to suffering. We seek, simply, to connect those who suffer with our crucified Lord, so that he can bring hope, healing, peace, and purpose to people, communities, and society.
The first eighteen months following our inception in February 2023 were spent praying for God's guiding hand while increasing support capacity through expanded distribution of our original-design Realistic Crucifix. We are now in Phase 2 of our development plan - fundraising and implementation of our initial ministry project: "Visiting the Imprisoned". We hope you will partner with us.
