The Navigators® is an international, interdenominational Christian ministry established in 1933. Navigators are people who love Jesus Christ and desire to help others know and grow in Him as they "navigate" through life.
We are a community of hundreds of thousands of everyday people who impact others for God's glory in our normal pathways of life—where we study, live, work, and play.
Navigators are characterized by an eagerness to introduce Jesus to those who don't know Him, a passion to see those who do know Jesus deepen their relationship with Him, and a commitment to training Jesus followers to continue this nurturing process among the people they know.
Today, the Navigator staff family—4,600 strong—includes 70 nationalities, 130 languages, and numerous heritages and life experiences. The Navigator family also includes those who work alongside and support our staff, whose hearts beat with the passion of our motto, "to Know Christ and to Make Him Known®."
Read The Vietnam Vet, the Cop, and the Atheist for an example of what The Navigators call “spiritual generations.”
What We Do
Our 75-year-old slogan, "To Know Christ and To Make Him Known,®" aptly describes what Navigators do. As we befriend those who don't know Jesus or those just starting out in their relationship with Him, we show them how to grow, and how to help others grow, too. We help people "navigate" life by establishing life-on-life mentoring—or discipling—relationships with them, equipping them to make an impact on those around them for God's glory. These life-changing relationships are formed on college campuses, on military installations, in neighborhoods, churches, and even high-rise apartment buildings. Our mission is based on the Bible, God's Word. Desiring to fulfill 2 Timothy 2:2, Navigators seek to forward the grace and teachings of Christ from one believer to the next—what we call "generational multiplication." And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others (2 Timothy 2:2).
