History
In 1949, Mike and Vivian Martin rented the abandoned Firland Tuberculosis Sanitary of King County for one dollar a year, and set up a youth house and a retired community of about 80 elderly, who named King Park operations. The teenage home quickly became a school, graduating first class in 1951. In the early 1950s, King's Garden expanded its operations and geography with Miracle Ranch, a summer camp near Gig Harbor, and a radio station, KGDN. The organization then added a second summer camp, Lake Island, and expanded to four total radio stations.
In 1970, Medicine for Missions, an international relief organization, joined the organization and changed its name to World Concern . Christian Veterinary Mission joined King's Garden in 1978.
King's Garden became CRISTA in 1979 (an identity inspired by the concept of putting Christianity in action) and schooling into the King's School. In 1993, Seattle Street School, now Seattle Urban Academy, joins CRISTA Ministries.
