Christian Employment Resource About Us
Our Journey: From Ministry Volunteers to a Global Career Resource
Christian Employment Resource began in 1971 as a group of dedicated volunteers working in corporate arenas as recruiters, outplacement specialists, hiring managers, and career counselors. We saw firsthand the struggles Christians faced when navigating job searches and career transitions. Motivated by faith and a desire to serve, we provided counseling and job search support to thousands of individuals from Fortune 500 companies, mid-sized firms, and startups.
Recognizing the growing need for faith-based employment guidance, we officially launched Christian Employment Resource as a ministry in 1986. Our mission has always been clear—to equip Christians with realistic, professional job search counseling rooted in biblical principles rather than speculation or hearsay.
Expanding Our Mission Beyond Southern California
In 1998, Christian Employment Resource took a bold step by moving online, expanding its reach to thousands of believers worldwide. By 1999, our outreach extended beyond Southern California, connecting with churches and ministries across the country. Today, we proudly serve a growing community of over 12,000 churches, ministries, Christian businesses, and individuals seeking career counseling assistance.
Faith-Based Career Counseling with Biblical Foundations
As a non-denominational career counseling ministry, our approach is deeply grounded in Scripture. We believe that God is present in every aspect of our lives—including our careers. Our counseling methodology emphasizes how He works in the professional journeys of His people, offering guidance and encouragement 24/7.
Our Core Beliefs
At Christian Employment Resource, our faith drives everything we do. We uphold the following core beliefs:
The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God (Ps. 119; Matt. 4:4; Luke 24:27).
One God exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (1 John 5:7).
Jesus Christ is our Savior, born of a virgin, living a sinless life, performing miracles, and offering redemption through His death, resurrection, and ascension (John 1:1-4; Ephesians 2:13-18; Revelation 19-20).
The Blessed Hope—we anticipate the Rapture of the Church at Christ’s coming (1 Thess. 4:13-18).
Salvation is possible through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:8-9, 13-18).
The Holy Spirit regenerates believers and empowers them for holy living (John 3:5-8; Titus 3:5).
Divine Healing is available through Christ’s redemptive work (Exodus 15:25-26; James 5:14-15; 1 Peter 2:24).
Baptism with the Holy Spirit is offered to those who ask (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:1-7).
Sanctification through the Holy Spirit enables Christians to live righteously (Romans 6:3-14; 8:1-2,11).
Eternal Life—we believe in the resurrection of the saved to everlasting life and the lost to eternal damnation (Revelation 20:5-6, 11-15).
