Resonate is an extension of your own church.
We exist to serve you and walk with you. We want to help our congregations explore their communities, discover where God is moving, and join God on mission!
Together we help build God’s church.
We do this by planting churches and supporting ministry in North America as well as sending missionaries around the globe to share the good news. But sending people is only part of God’s plan for your congregation.
Your church partners with Resonate as you join God’s mission in your own neighborhood and around the world. Resonate is here to walk alongside you in preparing missionaries and volunteers, calling and supporting church planters and campus ministers, connecting with ministries overseas, engaging church members and younger generations in mission work, and following the Spirit by discerning new ways to demonstrate and proclaim the gospel.

Resonate's Core Initiatives
Local Mission: Mobilizing Congregations
We serve Christian Reformed Churches by helping them live out God's call to live and share the gospel in their own neighborhoods. We provide coaching, discernment, and partnership so that everyone may join God at work through salvation and renewal in their own community.
Local Mission Stories
Global Mission: Sending Missionaries
We help send missionaries as well as our churches and their members to share the gospel with people from other cultures. We inspire, inform, equip, and support them to witness to Christ—and we are convicted that the gospel is at work not only for others, but also for ourselves. The relationships and imagination brought by engaging cross-culturally helps our denomination to continue to grow spiritually.
Church Planting
We partner with local congregations, classis, and leaders to establish new churches. Our goal is to cultivate a healthy church planting ecosystem that allows us to partner with Christian Reformed congregations with the resources and tools they need to form and lead these new church plants.
Formerly Christian Reformed World Missions and Christian Reformed Home Missions, we came together in 2017 as Resonate to walk alongside Christian Reformed churches as they join God’s mission in their own neighborhoods and around the world.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” -Acts 1:8
As Jesus is taken up into heaven, he reserves his final words to send his disciples on their most important mission: being witnesses and living out the things he taught them. That’s why Resonate exists—to help you in living out that mission. Our Christian Reformed congregations are our most important ministry partners.
Resonate can help deepen your passion for mission, strengthen your capacity to follow God on mission, and amplify the impact you and your church have in your neighborhood and around the world. We can do more together than we can on our own!
