Welcome to the site of the Classis Renewal Ministry Team, a Christian Reformed Ministry.

Check out what's new:

Denominational Resources Binder:  The binder that was first rolled out at the CRMT conference in May, has now been updated and completed.  It contains a complete and comprehensive list of all the agencies, offices and ministries of the CRC including contact info, all in one place. You will find it by clicking on the Resources link to the right or following this link, Resource Binder. If you are looking for specific information and can't  find it in the binder, or if you find an error, you can drop us a line crmt@crcna.org  

Survey: The Classis Renewal Team is looking to determine the reality of classis renewal efforts. Whare is the fruit of the renewal efforts showing up? You can help us assess (in measurable terms) the results and progress of renewal at the classis level. We’re asking for a few minutes of your time to complete the survey at: www.calvin.edu/go/crmtsurvey/. Your information will assist all leaders in highlighting where the changes are happening. 

 New tools in the toolkit:

Resourcing Your Congregations

Appreciative Inquiry is a process of having a conversation that captures the best practices and building on them for a preferred future. Check the toolkit for more details.

A Quick and Simple Congregational Asset-Mapping Experience is available to try with a group from your congregation or community.

 Who We Are is a good place to start if you would like to know more about the mission, vision or history of the Classis Renewal Ministry Team. This section of our site answers questions like "What is a classis?" and "What is classis renewal?" and "How did the Team get started?"
