WOW! I Had No Idea Some of These Were Christian Businesses!

Seven stalwarts of American culture founded by Christians that continue to operate on those principles to this day

#6 Tyson Foods

One of the largest manufacturing companies in the world, Tyson is the #1 producer of meat in the United States. Not to be distracted by the company’s runaway success in the second half of the twentieth century, the Tyson family – founders of the company and still serving as executives and board members – holds their faith of chief importance. CEO John Tyson re-instituted a chaplain program originally started by his grandfather that provides 120 men of the cloth to workers in Tyson offices and factories. This will for the good of others is part of what spurred Tyson to start their kNOw Hunger campaign in concert with donating literally tons of food every year to America’s poor.

#5 The Anschutz Corporation

You may have never heard of The Anschutz Corporation, but you’ve no doubt heard about their properties: Regal movie theatres, soccer’s Los Angeles Galaxy, the Staples Center sports and event arena and such publications as The Weekly Standard. Through these ventures, Philip Anschutz – owner of the private holding company corporation – has supported Christianity and culture over and over again. With The Foundation for a Better Life, Anschutz supports principled living, and with Walden Media has co-produced as well as distributed The Chronicles of Narnia films and Amazing Grace.
