The CRC International

The CRC in New Zealand (NZ) has been raised up by God as a fellowship of local churches and ministers with a purposeful spiritual vision, mission, ministry and set of shared core values.

There are currently nine CRC churches in New Zealand. Through the implementation of programs such as International School of Ministry which involves individual training and evangelism teaching, we have been able to reach the key communities in New Zealand, including Maori and Samoan groups.
