VERNON ROCKVILLE, Conn., Feb. 6, 2025 /Standard Newswire/ — This week, Northeast Christians At Work is celebrating its 25th anniversary of grassroots, all-volunteer ministry. After several months of preparation, the non-profit organization was officially launched on February 3-5, 2000 during Congress 2000, a major regional Christian convention organized by Vision New England and held at the Hynes Convention Center in downtown Boston.

According to the group's founder, Drew Crandall, the organization's mission is to "joyfully make, motivate and mature Christians in the workplace" through the media, the Internet, special events and resources. Its initial geographic focus was New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In the mid-2000s, Called To Work, a ministry based in Somerset, New Jersey, became part of Northeast Christians At Work. Since then, Called to Work has grown into a nationwide and international bilingual workplace ministry with speakers and materials in English and Chinese.

Like millions of Baby Boomers, Crandall left the church as a teenager. In June of 1985, his faith in Christ came alive during a Christian business breakfast. Ever since that morning, he has known that he is called to be a "minister in the marketplace." Through the years, other local ministries under the Northeast Christians At Work umbrella have included the Connecticut Alliance for Christian Arts, Creation Coalition of Connecticut, Jacob's Well Christian Coffeehouse and JesusFest.

"This unique mix of ministry covering business, science and arts has touched thousands of lives from various walks of life, encouraging them to explore the claims of Christ, trust in Him, and walk with Him," says Crandall.
