The UK's Best Christian Employers: Faith & Work Excellence Guide 2025

For the first time in the UK, we're spotlighting leading Christian employers who are making Kingdom impact.

At Called Out Plus, we believe work is calling and we want to help you find a workplace that lives out Christian values with excellence. That's why we created this first-of-its-kind Faith & Work Employer Guide, using a Michelin-style framework inspired by the world's most trusted restaurant ratings.

Our guide takes inspiration from Michelin Guide, which evaluates restaurants based on five key criteria: "ingredients," "mastery," "personality," "value," and "consistency." We re-imagined these criteria into the 5 Pillars of Faith & Work Excellence for the Christian workplace, combining them with real data from employee feedback, mission‑impact stories and workplace culture reviews to highlight Christian employers across the UK that authentically integrate faith and professional life.

This employer rating system is developed independently by Called Out Plus and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Michelin Guide.

The 5 Pillars of Faith & Work Excellence

Our ratings evaluate and highlight Christian workplaces that authentically integrate faith and professional life.

Quality of Mission & People

Is the Christian mission authentic, and are staff skilled and faith-driven?

Mastery of Faith Integration

Do biblical principles shape daily operations?

Personality of Christian Witness

Does the organisation have a distinct Kingdom character?

Value for Mission

Does it balance fair reward with purposeful work?

Consistency

Does the Christian culture remain authentic year after year?

How We Apply It

We assess organisations based on staff‑feedback, mission‑impact stories and culture reviews, applying our five pillars of Faith & Work Excellence and assigning stars accordingly.
