A Church Reforming to Reach the Lost for Christ

Christian Reformed Churches of Australia

WT banner smWorld Transform is CRCA's official denominational ministry "showing mercy – in Christ's name". We mainly work in deed ministries in developing countries in Asia and the Pacific. International Community Development is our main focus. We are also involved in emergency relief programs from time to time.

Our living God is deeply concerned for humanity in this sin scarred world. Following our Saviour's example, the Church in this world is to reach out to those in spiritual need with the message of the gospel. For those who have physical needs (the sick, the suffering, the orphans and the widows) we are to reach out with deeds of love and compassion.

The CRCA established this subcommittee in 1965. World Transform seeks to minister – in the Name of the Lord of mercy – to the spiritual and physical needs of all those in distress, including through natural disasters, war and hostilities, irrespective of sex, race or creed. World Transform represents the whole denomination in this task.

World Transform works in close relationship with G.O.S.P.E.L. so that "Word" and "Deed" ministries will be closely aligned.

The Church Planting Taskforce encourages CRCA churches in the task of planting churches throughout Australia.

The CPT engages in research on:

  • the effectiveness of multiplying congregations;
  • models of church reinvigoration and church planting;
  • the financial development of congregations;
  • the base numbers and goal numbers of the mission of planting churches (the base numbers equals where we start, and goal numbers indicates
    what we're aiming for);
  • the areas (geographical and sociological) where we are not reaching the community;
  • where we can have the most effective outreach.

Stepping stone smThe Church Planting Taskforce has funding available to partner with the local churches in providing seed funding for Missional Exploration initiatives.   Missional Explorations are designed to identify local missional contexts that might one-day become future church plants.  In essence, this is a ‘stepping-stone’ initiative between the regular outreach work of a local congregation and something that might take on a life of its own.  Under the supervision of the local church, a Missional Exploration might develop its own identity, and as a ‘new congregation’, lead to a formal church plant.
