Vision of the Christian Reformed Church As people called by God, we see the church as a growing, diverse family of vibrant congregations in which thousands worship God celebratively grow in his Word, and honor the Creator as Lord; Christ's forgiveness liberating women and men, boys and girls in all places and cultures, shaping the church to respond with gratitude; the Spirit releasing gifts to all for ministries of love, mercy, and justice —combined with articulate witness— which changes hearts and lives by proclaiming wholeness in Christ alone.
