Offering Details for August 2023
August 6th A.M. – Ministry Shares: Since 1862, as the CRC has found new opportunities to advance God’s kingdom and resource congregations in new ways, we have chosen to respond together as a denomination.

They provide a stewardly and cost-effective way of supporting every church and allowing us all to live out our God-given callings. Through ministry shares, offerings and other gifts, you help train pastors, plant churches, share the gospel, support chaplains, develop curriculum, and equip congregations with resources for worship, abuse prevention, disability concerns, elder and deacon training, racial reconciliation, and much more.
