The Communion of Reformed Churches is committed to sharing Christ's love in word and deed around the globe. Below you will find a growing list of supported organizations and individuals carrying out that work.
Regarding the terminology: "CREC-Commissioned" refers to churches, organizations, or individuals which are sent and overseen by CREC churches. "CREC-Partnered" refers to other organizations and individuals to whom CREC churches provide financial and other support, but have no overseeing role.
CREC-Commissioned: Churches/Plants | Missionaries & Mission Organizations | Teaching Ministries | Other Christian Service
CREC-Partnered: Indigenous Churches | Missionaries & Mission Organizations | Teaching Ministries | Other Christian Service
Within each of the categories, churches, missionaries and organizations are simply listed in alphabetical order.
CREC-Commissioned
Mission Churches/Plants/Indigenous Churches
Please note that in this context, the term "mission churches" refers more specifically to a "sending" and "evangelistic"-type church planting work, compared to how the same term is used in the "churches" section of this site. There is of course overlap, and all of our churches do seek to be "missional."
