The Network is Ready to Help

The Network is once again ready to provide Christian Reformed Church congregations and members online resources as another fall season for ministry kicks off.

Available through Christian Reformed Church Communications, The Network is where people can go to find the answers, resources, and ideas needed for serving in their churches.

Whether a church is large or small or somewhere in the middle, here is how The Network can help.

There are about 1,000 CRC churches and, for instance,  probably all of them have someone — or some people — teaching Sunday school.

That means there are hundreds of fellow Sunday school teachers out there who, through The Network, can connect, share ideas and ask and answer questions.

But Sunday school is only one example.

The Network can connect with thousands of other CRC members who are serving in a variety of ministry roles. That’s thousands of pastors, elders, deacons, church librarians, ministry coordinators, small group leaders, sound technicians, administrators, youth leaders and more.

The Network offers three ways to help in ministry.

• Blogs and discussion forums dive into compelling topics such as guns at church and how the coffee you serve at church reflects your church’s DNA.
• Ministry Q&A lets you ask specific questions, and get the answers you need. Currently, there are over 300 questions with over 1,000 responses from helpful people, on topics ranging from church building dedications, combining youth groups, and gluten free bread.
• Webinars are free, hour-long online learning events that provide practical training on various ministry essentials. Sit down with an expert and listen, take notes and ask questions.
