These Certified Best Christian Workplaces represent a variety of Christian organizations, including churches, parachurch ministries, mission organizations, Christian-owned businesses, Christian schools, and universities. Certified Best Christian Workplaces are spread across the United States, Canada, and 15 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Oceania. On a 5-point scale, certified organizations score at 4.0 and above on Best Christian Workplaces’ Employee Engagement Survey, which is based on rigorous research reflecting more than 20 years of experience.
There has been a significant increase in the number of Certified Best Christian Workplaces over the last five years, from 208 in 2021 to 310 in 2025. This year, a higher proportion of Certified workplaces are in the “Flourishing” range with Employee Engagement scores of 4.25 and above.
Jay Bransford, President and CEO of Best Christian Workplaces, reflects on the importance of healthy workplaces: “I commend each of the leaders on this year’s list of Certified Best Christian Workplaces. These leaders have invested in the health of their workplaces by listening to their staff and taking concrete actions to strengthen their culture and overall employee engagement. Their faithful efforts over the long haul mean that their employees can have joy in their work and serve their stakeholders more fully to accomplish their mission. These organizations seek to honor God and reflect biblical values at work. We have seen many organizations move from unhealthy to healthy to flourishing, as they have utilized the data from our research-based assessment. These organizations make an eternal difference while setting the standard as the best places to work.”
In healthy workplaces, employees bring their full energy to their work, which is reflected in higher productivity. Organizations with engaged employees are more effectively able to accomplish their mission and vision, expanding their kingdom impact.
