Diversity is now part of Thrive (read more about the change).
While our name may have changed, we're still committed as ever to identify, affirm, and support church leaders and emerging leaders in their callings and giftedness while recognizing gender and ethnic challenges in Christian leadership. We welcome and support gatherings for building relationships, vibrant worship and celebration.
The Christian Reformed Church in North America values biblical diversity and a variety of gifts given to the body of Christ for God’s mission in the church and the world.
These two values guide the work of Thrive and help us to work toward a future when our congregations, leadership, and entire denomination better reflect the full diversity of the body of Christ.
We are inspired by the work of the Holy Spirit in each ministry and the local and global impact on lives in kingdom advancement.
