This project aims to broaden participation within the CRC denomination and beyond by fostering collaboration among various ministries and congregations. Key goals include developing web resources for educational purposes, collaborating with regional agencies, and creating demonstration projects like rain gardens at denominational headquarters. By engaging existing regional bodies and conducting dialogues with institutions like Calvin Seminary, we can integrate sustainable practices and share valuable resources to strengthen community relationships and environmental stewardship.
