2026 Call to Prayer and Fasting

We are living during what is becoming an inflection point in the history of the CRCNA. What is an “inflection point?” In short, a time of significant change. We have weathered a lot together. At recent Synod gatherings, we have named our growing desire for God to bring renewal and to see a renewed passion for church planting continue to grow in our denomination. 

In response to Synods 2023 and 2025, Thrive and Resonate Global Mission, in collaboration with the Office of General Secretary, are taking the lead to develop strategic plans for church renewal and church planting in the CRCNA. 

Throughout the history of the church, extraordinary prayer and fasting have been an integral part of God’s people uniting together for renewed passion for God’s mission. As we seek to catalyze the CRCNA for renewal and for growing our church planting efforts for the next decade and beyond, we believe it is critical to issue a call to prayer and fasting as an integral part of our strategies. We see the Spirit of God already at work in our denomination renewing prayer for God to raise up leaders and renew us in mission. Starting in January 2026, we are planning to issue a weekly call to prayer and fasting that will invite others into this emerging movement of the Spirit. If you would like to join us, please complete this form and we will add it to our weekly email distribution list. 

Serving together,
