What is Vibrant Congregations?
Vibrant Congregations is a joint endeavor by the Reformed Church In America (RCA) and the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA) to assist churches in taking their next steps toward fresh mission and ministry. Specifically, Vibrant Congregations seeks to help churches find the best partner organization for this journey.

A God-given,
hope-filled future
We all need to take fresh steps in ministry and mission to pursue God's unique future for our congregations. Wherever you are in your church's life, Vibrant Congregations can help you discern the best path to your congregation's God-given hope-filled future.
How it works: Vibrant Congregations walks with congregations through a discernment process, known as a vibrancy pathway. This process includes conversation, prayer, discernment instruments, and more conversation. The outcome is discovering which partner is best for each congregation as it seeks vibrant ministry.
Vibrancy Pathway

Why this pathway?
Many groups are available to work with your congregation to take fresh steps. Before this journey can begin, each church should ponder this question: "Which one will best fit our congregation?"
Vibrant Congregations assists each church in discerning its best partner, something that is unique from other organizations. Using the vibrancy pathway, our church will discover which partner can best help your congregation pursue its God-given future.
