With the global spread of COVID-19, we want to assure you of our prayers for your community, family, and all those who are working in this pandemic. We urge you to consult with your religious leadership regarding travel, presentations, and events. We also want to encourage you to follow the protocols recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), local and federal government health officials as you engage in ministry.

We recognize that this is an evolving situation. All NRVC staff are working from home and can be reached via email. We are all able to telecommute and have communication protocols in place so that we can continue to work efficiently and effectively. Any changes to our operating status will be communicated to you.

Currently we are moving forward as scheduled with our Summer Institute, and Convocation, but will revisit these decisions on a monthly basis.
