Friends of CRTS
Declaring the Glory of the Triune God among the Chinese People

   

Friends of Chinese Reformed Theological seminary is a US non-profit organization that supports Chinese Reformed Theological seminaries.  We have three specific ways in which we do this:


  1. We provide financial support to various Chinese Reformed Theological Seminaries for specific projects such as the purchase of library books or teacher training.  We also support the mission work of CRTS in the mainland, and the Chinese Reformed Press.
  2. We seek to obtain property or to raise endowment funds for small Chinese Reformed Theological Seminaries.  Property or funds are transferred to a seminary when the seminary has progressed to the point which allows it to operate and maintain a stable, reformed, financially sound Chinese Reformed Theological Seminary.   We has a twelve year committment to provide CRTS with $12,000 per year to help pay for their campus in Taipei.
  3. We support ordained missionaries who have a call from a Chinese Reformed Theological Seminary.  Currently we have two such Missionaries: Dr. Andrew McCafferty and Dr. Timothy Yates.  Both are teaching full time at CRTS in Taiwan.

The Board of Directors consists primarily of pastors and elders from the Presbyterian Church of America.  We meet regularly in conjunction with the General Assembly of the PCA.
