Our Call: Following Christ in Mission
Our Call in the Reformed Church in America is to build on the foundations of discipleship, leadership, and mission and to renew existing congregations and start new churches.
Revitalizing
and multiplying--not one or the other; not one more important than the
other; but both, equally essential and deeply interwoven.
Revitalizing congregations are responsive to God's call, developing a faithful and fruitful life through new mission, new ministries, and new members.
New congregations extend God's love and grace by inviting people into a new community of faith and a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Discipleship forms us as we seek to follow our Lord in all he said and did--living out his passion for justice, his care for the outcast, and his seeking for God's kingdom as we answer his invitation to open our lives to the transforming power of God's love.
Leadership--we build a healthy, growing future for our ministries when we identify, equip, and deploy people with gifts for leadership.
Mission becomes a way of life when we reach out to people with the gospel, meeting needs in our own neighborhoods and cities and through global partnerships.
This is what the church has always been about--faithful congregations, inspiring worship, and loving relationships that flourish as the church builds community, nurtures the gifts of all its members, and reaches out in mission both locally and globally.

Following Christ in
mission together, led by the Holy Spirit, and working with all the
partners God provides, we believe that God is calling the Reformed Church
in America over the next ten years to focus its efforts and resources on
starting new congregations and revitalizing existing congregations,
thereby empowering fruitful and faithful ministries for the glory of God.
