Who We Are

There is no single, definitive answer to the question of who we are as the CRC.
Each of these descriptions tells part of the story. Enjoy.


The following material was taken from 'The CRC and You'

History of the Christian Reformed Church in North America

Prepared for the Tokyo Theological Institute of the Reformed Church of Japan, May 1997. Posted here by permission of the author. The document may be freely copied for noncommercial purposes.

Written from a "generally conservative loyalist" viewpoint, the paper traces the history of the CRC from its roots in the Netherlands to the present. As with any denominational history, it shows our blemishes as well as our beauty. Most of all it shows the grace of God who has used this relatively small denomination to accomplish much good in his kingdom.
