To assist churches in responding to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ministries of the Christian Reformed Church in North America curated resources on key topics, and churches used The Network to learn from and support each other. Although these resource lists are no longer being actively updated, they are still available here as reference.

Visit The Network to browse all topics, ask questions to help with your current situation, or add your own post to share your experience.
