The Restructuring Committee of the Regional Synod Requests Your Input
To: The Churches, Pastors, Classes, and RCA church members within the bounds of the Synod of the Mid-Atlantics
From: The Restructuring Committee of the Synod of the Mid-Atlantics
Our committee understands that each congregation, pastor, and classis within our bounds is unique and brings different needs, concerns, dreams, and expectations to the discussion surrounding the restructuring of the RCA. Furthermore, how each region might restructure into middle assemblies is being left up to the individual regional synods and their classes.
To that end, our committee has developed a form to solicit the perspectives in your ministries as we work to establish consensus for one or more middle assemblies for our region. We ask that you prayerfully consider the questions on the Restructuring Feedback Form and encourage you to discuss these questions as a consistory, as a classis, and among your peers.
Once you review these questions, please respond by filling out the form at the following link and submit your responses to us no later than February 1, 2025:
https://form.jotform.com/242876543229061
If you prefer to submit your responses by mail, you may send them to the synod office at:
Synod of the Mid-Atlantics
35 Seminary Place
New Brunswick, NJ 08901
We look forward to hearing what is on your mind and in your heart as together we move through this process.
Yours in Christ,
The Synod of the Mid-Atlantics Restructuring Committee
