Better Together Hosts

Convening for Congregations Discernment

Following the CRCNA’s Synod 2024, many congregations face uncertainty about their future within the denomination. In response, the Better Together Project Team hosted both in-person (Aug. 23-24) and virtual (Aug. 27 & 29) gatherings, facilitating discernment exercises and encouraging Christ-centered approaches to help churches move forward.

The team is now working on hopeful next steps, fostering a supportive, unified community for the sake of mission.

In Hope,
The Better Together Project Team
