CRC Congregational Services

Agencies of our denomination have put together a concise, summary list of the services each provides to congregations.  Click here for a copy that you can distribute to your ministry leaders. A significantly more complete version has been assembled by Elizabeth Guillaume-Koene on behalf of CRMT. Click on the binder link to the right.

The Toolkit

Classis Renewal Toolkit has information, planning aids and examples covering prayer at classis, composing mission statements, designing an agenda, self-assessment and strategic planning.

Classical Prayer Leader's Resources Notebook

CRMT, through the work of Doug Kamstra, has compiled a note book of resources for classis prayer leaders.

CRMT is pleased to provide each classis with one copy of this resource. If you are a classis prayer leader, or your classis point person for prayer, contact Lori Worst 1-800-266-2175 to arrange to get your copy.

Additional copies are available for purchase through the same contact.
