We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian in enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, that all who are united by faith to Christ are members of the same, and that, having thus become members one of another, it is our solemn and covenant duty to fellowship with one another in peace, and to love one another with pure and fervent hearts.

History

CSI Ministries is the product of a vision received by an evangelist in 1963. This missionary promoted missions by showing people first-hand what God was doing to get His Word to a lost world. In 1978 the entire ministry of CSI was turned over to Eddy Cline, and the International Headquarters was moved to Muncie, IN, where he and his wife Shirley operated the ministry out of their home. By 1987 the ministry had grown significantly, and CSI purchased a new office building.

Program accomplishments

Since 1967 we have shared the redeeming Gospel of Jesus Christ with more than 20,000 people in the United States through mission trips and reached thousands more in at least 15 countries around the world. Through these short-term opportunities we deliver experiences for teams to share Christ's love with those they encounter and create opportunities to encourage discipleship among team members. In the communities we serve, short-term teams engage activities that help meet the basic needs for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Needs

Groups of individuals willing to grow closer to Christ through serving on short term mission trips. Call 800-286-5773 to book your trip.
