Local and Global Working Together

The world is changing. The vast majority of growth in the CRC has come from ethnic minority church plants and church affiliations (especially immigrants).  The majority of the decline is from predominantly Caucasian congregations. As demographics change, the CRC increasingly resembles the biblical image of a church from all nations and races. As this change occurs two things must happen.  First, leaders from dominant culture congregations must make space for their brothers and sisters of other cultures to serve and lead.  Second, believers from ethnic minority congregations must take up roles of service and leadership in the church more broadly. In April, Resonate invited key ethnic minority leaders from all over the CRC to participate in the Glocal Mission Summit, an opportunity designed to provide a space for ethnic minority and immigrant churches in the CRC to share their perspective on mission leadership.  It was such a blessing to see mission leaders from many races and cultures share their passion and vision.

Zach preached at TtoKomsa Mission Church, a CRC near downtown Los Angeles.  Ttokomsa has a passion for supporting missionaries and has placed many throughout the world.

Leaders from many cultures shared communion together at the Glocal Mission Summit. In the Lord’s Supper, our physical and cultural differences give way to our oneness in Christ.
