The Christ Foundation was founded in 1971 by Jerry and Patricia Moore with a singular mission: to help children in need and guide them toward their Savior, Jesus Christ.
Since its inception, the foundation has expanded its reach significantly, supporting local ministries, schools, and churches while also aiding preachers and missions around the world.
Jerry Moore was born in Sour Lake, Texas, and made his home in the Canton, Ohio area starting in 1961. As a World War II Navy veteran, he went on to establish a successful oil and gas company. Deeply grateful for the blessings in his life, Jerry dedicated himself to finding ways to share God’s love with others. While Jerry passed away in 2020, he ensured that his legacy would live on through the work of The Christ Foundation.
The Christ Foundation is a private foundation dedicated to expressing our Christian faith through acts of charity. Inspired by 1 Peter 4:10, which calls us to use our gifts to serve others, we strive to create lasting change by funding organizations that assist the least of these. Through the grants given, our mission is to help others discover the gospel and the hope it brings.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10
