Solutions Architect vacancy at Christian Care Ministry

Sharing Lives, Faith, Talents and Resources
For thousands of years, Christians have come together to care for each other and carry each other's burdens.

More than 25 years later, the Medi-Share program serves more than 400,000 members, and more than $2.6 billion dollars in medical bills have been shared and discounted.
