What Are Gospel Centered Non-Profits?
30 Gospel-Focused Nonprofits Changing the World for Christ
There’s something about seeing the Church in action that stirs the soul. When the gospel moves beyond words—beyond the pulpit, beyond the Sunday morning routine—and takes root in hands and feet, real transformation happens. Across the world, organizations embody Christ's love in tangible ways, serving the least of these and proclaiming His name with boldness.
Below is a list of 30 gospel-driven nonprofits, each one unique in its mission but all united by the same heartbeat: to make Jesus known and to serve as His hands and feet in a broken world. Whether they’re feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, or translating the Bible into an unreached language, these ministries are testaments to what happens when faith is not just believed but lived.
May this list inspire you—not just to admire the work of others but to ask the tricky question: How am I living out the gospel in my own life?
