Among other benefits, using the website allows churches to update their information directly and provides for immediate distribution of their updated information. We encourage you to visit the federation website and acquaint yourself with it. Because we are using this method, the directory will take different forms than it has in the past. There is an “archive edition,” which is a compilation of federation information as of October, 2008. There is also a “current edition,” which contains the latest information as churches perform updates; it will differ from the archive edition in that information is as up‐to‐date as provided by the churches. The archive edition will be available for reference in the future. In both cases it is the responsibility of the churches to make the information available to their membership as this is private information which can only be accessed by having each church use their own unique username/password. This year, as in previous years, has seen growth in terms of the number of churches that are now associated with our Federation. In 2007 we listed 98 churches, one of which in Allendale, MI disbanded. In this directory we have published information on 106 churches. We note the creation of Classis Pacific Northwest in order to accommodate growth in Classis Southwest U.S. as well as the reception of congregations from the Orthodox Christian Reformed Church, whom we welcome in the Lord. Membership statistics reflect that many new families, professing members, and baptized members have been added. Our overall membership total of professing and baptized members was 22,495 last year for which we can be thankful.
