The Christ Foundation

The Christ Foundation was started in 1971 by Jerry and Patricia Moore. Its main focus was then, as it is now, to help children in need and to point them to their savior, Jesus Christ. Over the years, The Christ Foundation’s reach has been far and wide – from aiding local ministries, schools and churches to supporting preachers and missions overseas. Our Mission The Christ Foundation is formed for the specific purpose of being a charitable private foundation and is founded upon the principle that charity is an expression of our Christian faith that unites us with God. Jerry Moore was born in Sour Lake, Texas and had lived in the Canton, Ohio area since 1961. It was there that the World War II Navy veteran founded a successful oil and gas company. Grateful for all he had been given, Jerry continually sought ways to bless others so that they may know God’s love. While Jerry passed away in 2020, his vision continues to guide our work.
