What we do

CRCW is a distinctive and formally recognised ministry within the URC, and post holders play a vital role in the denomination's presence and engagement in neighbourhoods and with communities. CRCWs are called by God, professionally and theologically trained, and then commissioned to particular church(es) and neighbourhoods, using the principles of community development, to respond to and challenge the issues facing their particular communities. 

If you require more CRCW information or need a document which is not available online, please email the CRCW programme administrator, who will be happy to help.
