“We are extremely grateful to the servants of the church who gathered for eight days of meetings and deliberations—for the leadership they provided and the incredible amount of work accomplished!” said Dee Recker, director of synodical services.

Synod 2017 met June 9-15 on the campus of Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Ill.

Among other things, Synod 2017 urged “CRC members, congregations, and agencies to remember and renew [the] passion to serve God by serving the poor and oppressed in ministries of relief, development, proclamation, and advocacy for justice.”

Synod also approved Resonate Global Mission as the name for the new agency that is emerging from the unification of Christian Reformed Home Missions and Christian Reformed World Missions.

Delegates also ratified the appointment of Rev. Zachary King to serve as the director of this new agency.
