Together, We Do More

Our denominational ministries and initiatives reflect our five-fold calling. We are called to express the good news of God’s kingdom that transforms lives and communities. We seek to carry out this calling as individuals and as congregations. And we join together through regional assemblies (called classes) and denominational ministries, in the firm belief that together we can do more. Below you can view all the ministries of the Christian Reformed Church, or view our list of partners.
