The Board of Trustees for CRISTA Ministries has formally initiated a process that will eventually conclude with the hiring of a successor to President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Lonac. The future hire will become only the sixth individual to serve in the role during the 69-year history of the organization. Appointed by the CRISTA Board in 2006, since his arrival, overall fundraising revenue for the seven ministries that comprise the CRISTA family has nearly tripled. 

Chairman Tim Jenkins stated, “Bob Lonac has transformed CRISTA by bringing out the best in its people; helping them to love God by serving others. Bob’s inspired leadership has guided CRISTA through many important changes and achievements.”
