Our Way
Cancer Companions honors these five values:
Being principled in the teachings of Christ
Being supportive to all
Being authentic
Showing love that puts others first
Being hopeful to all
Our Focus
Cancer Companion’s vision for the future is for every person impacted by cancer to know the hope, love, and grace of Jesus and that every oncology team has included faith in their treatment toolbox.
Who We Are
Our History
Cancer Companions was founded in September of 2011 when Executive Director, Karen Tripp, trained 3 volunteers to lead the Seeing God in Your Cancer Journey program at a local church. From there, additional Bible studies were printed, accompanying videos produced and our national event 30 days of Cancer Prayer was launched. Since then we have grown to have 71 active churches in 24 states with over 400 volunteers, making Cancer Companions the premiere national Christian Cancer Ministry.

Our Purpose
Why do we do what we do? We do this because we believe that every cancer patient deserves a holistic experience including a tangible way to engage the hope of Christ in the darkness of their cancer journey.
Our 10 Year, God-Sized Goal
By 2033, Cancer Companions will provide 5 million contacts through cancer prayers, scriptures and interactions to those impacted by cancer. Contacts include; social media outreach, e-newsletters, prayer team requests, 30 days of Cancer Prayer event, and volunteer connections (both group and individual).
