Meeting others' needs with the love of Christ
Since our very first project in 1990, Craftsmen for Christ (CFC) has committed to using God’s resources—skills, materials, talents, food, and willing hearts—to meet the needs of others. Our primary work focuses on widows, the elderly, the disabled, and the fatherless.
Craftsmen for Christ receives daily requests. While the CFC team cannot fill every request, we carefully review each one and lift it up in prayer. Then, based on the team’s availability, we conduct a site visit to assess the need and prioritize the work. Through prayer and discernment, CFC matches resources to real people in need.
The work begins when skills, materials, and volunteers intersect. Every project starts and ends with prayer, because we believe the fruit of our labor comes from God. As we build, our true goal is to build lasting relationships with the people we serve.
Beyond building projects, we also invite all men to join CFC every week for fellowship, worship, prayer, and Bible study. We meet Tuesday evenings at 6:30 pm at The Bride Church (1321 Peach Tree Lane, Yuba City).
CFC incorporated in 1997 as a 501(c)(3) federal non-profit organization.

Living Out the Gospel of Jesus Christ
For 35 years, Craftsmen for Christ has been serving the community by the power of Jesus Christ’s love within us. Everything we do flows from the Good News of the Gospel: that God so loved the world that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to live a perfect life, die on the cross for our sins, and rise again in victory over death. Through His sacrifice, we are forgiven, redeemed, and given new life—not because of our works, but because of His grace. This message of hope is at the heart of every project, every act of service, and every life touched through this ministry.
We believe the same Jesus who changed our lives is still changing lives today. The Gospel is not just words on a page; it is the power of God to save, to heal, and to restore. Our work in the community is simply an extension of what Christ has done for us. As He laid down His life for us, we seek to lay down our lives for others—showing His love in practical ways and pointing people back to the only One who can truly transform hearts. For 35 years, and by God’s grace for many more to come, Craftsmen for Christ exists to lift high the name of Jesus and invite others to experience the abundant life found only in Him.
