How can I find a specific staff member or ministry?
To find the staff person or ministry you are looking for, we will transfer you to Give.Cru.org.
Once there try searching:

  • By a portion of the last name
  • By first name and last initial
  • By using a legal first name rather than a nickname

Note: Although most staff members are listed, for security reasons others are not. Some staff members have simply chosen not to list their names.
