Come and see what God is doing,

The Christian Reformed Church is inviting you to Gather! In 2024 and 2025, we’re bringing together Christian Reformed leaders from across North America in the spirit of fellowship, encouragement and renewal. We’ll celebrate how God is working in our communities, learn from each other and come away inspired!

When we gather and share, we find common threads in our journeys and our challenges. Through facilitated storytelling in small groups, we’ll discuss ways God is bringing life to our congregations; how we can encourage greater participation; and where God is leading us in the coming months and years. We’ll also spend time together in worship, prayer and discernment, in a warm and welcoming environment.

We hope you will leave these events feeling encouraged in your mission, supported by your
CRC brothers and sisters, and renewed in the vision God has for our community. Learn More. 

Interested in Attending?

Those interested in attending a Gather event should indicate their interest to the stated clerk or other leadership of their classis. Each classis will be asked to select a delegation of 10 people. 

Gather Stories

In 2015, the Reformed Church in America and the Christian Reformed Church in North America collaborated to plant a new kind of church in a disinvested neighborhood in Detroit. This is their story.

Following God's lead, Pastor Marcelo Viana started Amber Church in Winnipeg and invited recent, Brazilian immigrants into his home for worship. As the church grew, he and his wife soon recognized they would need a larger facility. God led them to Covenant CRC in Winnipeg, and through a partnership of faith they were able to rent a chapel from a Christian school.

Christian Reformed churches in British Columbia have long modeled the warm welcome of Jesus for the newest members of their communities. Through collaboration and the co-funding of a Chaplain and Refugee Support Mobilizer position, they are effectively responding to the deepest needs of refugees and newcomers. This is their story.

Williams Lake is a remote community about 525 km north of Vancouver, British Columbia. In this town of less than 11,000 people, Cariboo CRC has become a beacon of welcome, light, and support to those in the community. This is their story.

The Loving Church in Tucson, Arizona is a Korean and English-speaking church with about 40 members. The church offers food, clothing, showers, haircuts and Christ-centered fellowship to dozens of unhoused people each week. This is their story.

Twenty-five years ago, Fairlawn CRC in Whitinsville, Massachusetts, started a daytime Bible study for women to gather, share their lives, and deepen their faith in Christ. Today, that Bible study continues to thrive and has proven to be a blessing to both the church and the community. This is their story.
