Women’s Leadership Ministry helps churches and ministries create a culture for men and women to thrive in ministry.
This year we commemorate the 25 years of women in ecclesiastical office in the Christian Reformed Church. The journey of women in the CRCNA entails a long history and legacy of women using their God-given gifts and callings in local and global missions.
