Promote & Defend (2).png

Training series designed to prepare CRC deacons, elders and ministers to sign the Covenant for Officebearers in the Christian Reformed Church

PROMOTE & DEFEND. These are words you vowed to uphold when you signed the Covenant For Officebearers when you were ordained. The CRC has been strengthening its commitment to this Covenant, realizing the value of standing on the Solid Rock of truth when so many others are being swept away. This means you will likely be asked to re-sign this document more often than you have in the past.


So it’s all the more important that you know what we confess, why it’s important, and how you can fulfill your vow to Promote & Defend it.

​

Equip your council with the foundational knowledge they need to faithfully sign their name and then uphold their vow to Promote & Defend. This video series is designed as a practical tool for pastors and elders to use in training officebearers in the Christian Reformed Church. It provides an in-depth look at the Covenant for Officebearers, an overview of our Three Forms of Unity, and other key elements that unify our faith and leadership.
