About

F1 Engineering is a group of enginerds trying to make a difference in the world.

Our goal is to assist missions and relief organizations with technical skill and training. God called us to be his hands and feet, and we happen to be the hands holding the slide rule, calculator, and hammer.  Renewable energy, efficient lighting and equipment, computer technical support…our skills allow us to support our partners in a variety of ways.

We’re not looking to establish our own empire; we wouldn’t be surprised if there never is a “F1 Engineering Mission Center”.  We seek to provide technical and engineering expertise to existing organizations.  Many groups have wonderful ideas, plans, and dreams, but are lacking in the infrastructure necessary to realize them.  It doesn’t matter where on earth you are located…we’d love to help you out.

We’re not looking to overwhelm, change, or undermine culture.  We think every nation’s culture is rich, beautiful, and we want to preserve and work with culture.  Technology can be a dangerous force, and we believe in wise application to supplement and support to bring health and education, to meet basic human needs, not to turn the world into mindless TV-watching zombies.

If you think we could assist you with technical needs, be it renewable energy sources or computer support, please contact us.  If we don’t have the necessary expertise to you help you, we’ll be happy to provide support by finding the right people to help you, or finding innovate solutions to new problems.

Who are we?
F1 Engineering is officially a project under the banner of Crucified Ministries, a non-profit skate park/church/youth ministry based in Johnstown, PA.

However, “We” is a flexible term. For now, it is an eclectic group of people with technical backgrounds, mainly in engineering, who want to answer the call to mission and world disaster relief using the skills they posses.

Hopefully “we” will include you. So far, “we” includes the following people in leadership positions:
