“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now…”

- Philippians 1:3-5

As we continue to share the vision of Better Together we are excited to introduce to you a new group of leaders who are committed to this vision and BT’s values. These are key leaders, pastors, and member of the Christian Reformed Church who are glad to add their voices to sharing this compelling call to unity in Christ for the sake of mission.

We are glad to welcome them as ambassadors in support of this work and we look forward to their leadership and encouragement going forward. If you happen to know any of them we encourage you to reach out and express your thanks for their courage and vision as they publicly join the Better Together circle.

In addition, we ask you to consider sharing the vision of Better Together with those you are in relationship with. Together we are striving to create space for disagreement while growing in unity for the sake of the mission of the Gospel and we are thrilled that you’ve joined us in this work!
