Friends of Chinese Reformed Theological Seminaries (Friends of CRTS) is a US non-profit organization that supports Chinese Reformed Theological seminaries (CRTS).  Friends of CRTS networks international supporters with Chinese Reformed theological education.  We praise God for the establishment and growth of CRTS in Taiwan – which now has over 140 degree students and many of whom come from China!

Our vision is to establish healthy Reformed ministries, staffed with qualified Reformed theological leaders who can reproduce Reformed pastors and biblical counselors to accommodate the Seminaries’ need.

There are some specific ways in which we do this:

• We support ordained missionaries who have a call from CRTS. 
• We provide financial support to China Reformed Theological Seminary (CRTS) and its China mission for projects such as teacher training, visiting professor seminars, facility acquisition and other programs to enhance CRTS education offering.
• Various CRTS related programs such as Reformed TV Station, Reformation Translation Fellowship, Family Counseling Center, Church Planting and Chinese ministry for CRTS alumni in NAPARC.
