“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
Like a mighty oak tree, the Christian Reformed Church has deep roots and spreading branches. Our roots run deep into the rich soil of biblical truth. Our branches reach around the world with ministries that change lives.
But God is calling us to a new challenge.
God is calling the Christian Reformed Church to renewed passion for evangelism that will increase our capacity to plant up to 30 new churches per year that reach people for Christ.*
God’s call is plain. Jesus says, “I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit–fruit that will last” (John 15:16).
It is a challenge that will require a denomination-wide commitment.
God wants people to be brought into the Kingdom. Can we ignore such a great call to service? Can we disregard God’s call to action?
*CRC Denominational Ministry Plan: Church-Planting Goal
CRC denominational ministries will serve congregations and classes by encouraging and supporting a denomination-wide movement that extends our kingdom witness for Jesus through increasing our capacity to plant up to 30 new churches a year.
