Activity Or MissionThe Board of Trustees of the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA BOT) and the Reformed Church in America Board of Benefits Services (RCA BOBS) established the Reformed Benefits Association (RBA) for the provision, management and administration of health and welfare benefit plans for ministers, lay employees and retirees of the denominations, their agencies and participating churches and other assemblies on a joint basis. Further, the RBA is being established to develop a spirit of Christian fellowship and cooperative mission among the denominations to promote, through cooperative effort, the spiritual, moral, social and civic welfare of the Christian community. As a result, the CRCNA BOT and the RCA BOBS, as members of the RBA, delegate the authority of the RBA Board of Trustees to conduct these activities and identify additional services which can be performed by the RBA on a joint basis on behalf of its members.ActivityOrMissionDesc
