Presbyterian Governance

CRCI functions with a Presbyterian model for mission — emphasizing shared leadership, collaborative outreach, and the empowerment of elders to shepherd churches and plant new ones across India. Our presbyteries unite local congregations under biblical governance and mutual fellowship.
