About the Company

The Christian Reformed Church in North America

Christian denomination coordinating US/Canada congregations

The Christian Reformed Church in North America is a Protestant denomination that brings together about a thousand local congregations across the United States and Canada, with roughly 300,000 members. It supports and coordinates worship, education, and mission through its network of churches rather than through a single centralized church. Its main work happens through individual congregations and regional bodies that share a Reformed Christian faith and practice. The group differentiates itself by its long-standing Reformed confession, cross-border network, and organized structure for leadership, pastoral care, and community programs. The CRCNA aims to nurture faith, disciple members, and extend its mission by equipping churches to worship, learn, and serve in their communities and beyond.
