The Pittsburgh-based campus ministry organization Coalition for Christian Outreach has been named one of America's Best Christian Workplaces for the sixth year in a row.

"CCO is perennially on top of the list. This year they have even improved over previous years," said Al Lopus, president of the Best Christian Workplaces Institute in Mercer Island, Wash., the workplace consulting group that conducts the survey. He founded his group to combat the image of Christian organizations as places where workers were underpaid and given little opportunity to shape the vision and culture of their workplace.

The Coalition for Christian Outreach, whose office is in East Liberty, was among 10 organizations named in the "parachurch and mission" category, although those 10 were not ranked. The list is based on a voluntary 56-question survey of employees, and requires at least 95 percent participation of the staff.

Some well known organizations named along with the Coalition were Crown Financial Ministries, which helps people with personal finances; Joni & Friends, a ministry to disabled people; and Open Doors with Brother Andrew, which supports mission work in countries where it is illegal or dangerous.
