Resonate Global Mission is working with ministry leaders from a variety of denominational ministries to strengthen church planting in Canada and the United States.

“The more initiative and ownership that can be taken by a variety of staff to support church planting, the better off we’ll be as a denomination,” said Kevin Schutte, a CRCNA church planter who leads Resonate’s church planting initiative.

Cohort is launching in Detroit, Michigan.

A Resonate Global Mission experience for young adults to serve in a local grassroots ministry, live in community, and engage in deep spiritual formation, Cohort is already equipping young adults in Central America and the Middle East. Detroit is Cohort’s third location.

Campus ministers and student leaders from throughout Canada and the United States gathered May 28-30 at Loyola University in Chicago, Ill., for the Christian Reformed Campus Ministry Association (CRCMA) conference.

There, they wrestled with questions surrounding diversity, gender, sexuality, and power within relationships so they can better share their faith with all students.

“Universities have changed. Culture has changed,” said Mark Wallace, Resonate Global Mission’s campus ministry leader.

At February’s Council of Delegates (COD) meetings in Grand Rapids, Mich., Resonate Global Mission presented results from the most extensive research ever conducted on church planting in the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA).

As part of an ongoing denominational conversation about church planting, this research will be significant not only for the CRCNA’s future work in church planting but also for the health of the denomination overall.
