Spiritual Warfare. Digital Battlefield.
The Church Is Under Attack
Ransomware locks congregations out of their systems during the Christmas season. Phishing attacks steal thousands meant for missions. Data breaches expose the personal information of members and families in our care.
These aren't random crimes. They're the adversary's tools to steal from God's people, destroy ministries, and shatter the trust that holds congregations together.
60% of nonprofits have been attacked in the past two years. Most churches have no cybersecurity policy, no dedicated IT staff, and no one to call when the attack comes.
We Stand in the Gap
Hackers for Christ Ministries provides free cybersecurity services to churches that can't afford protection. We're a team of Christian cybersecurity professionals who see this work as spiritual warfare fought with prayer and penetration testing.
Our services include security assessments, staff training, penetration testing, and incident readiness planning. Churches never pay.

Year 1 Goals

This covers everything: Cyber/Tech E&O insurance ($2,900), professional penetration testing tools ($2,638), volunteer background checks and training materials ($2,000), Kasm penetration testing lab ($2,503), operational costs, and a 20% contingency buffer. No salaries. 100% volunteer leadership.

Beyond Year 1
Our $17,000 goal funds 6 churches, 10 volunteers, and a 20% buffer for contingencies. Corporate sponsors, foundation grants, and church partners fund growth initiatives and reserves, bringing our total Year 1 revenue target to $29,500. If God provides beyond this, we're ready to scale: every additional $88 protects another church, and every $123 equips another Sentinel. Our infrastructure supports growth to 18+ churches in Year 1 if funding allows.
We will be faithful stewards of whatever is entrusted to us.
