Colts Neck Reformed Church gives specifically to two educational institutions associated or owned by the Reformed Church in America, Hope College and New Brunswick Theological Seminary.
Hope College
Is a distinguished and distinctive four-year, liberal arts, undergraduate college affiliated with the Reformed Church in America. Its great religious heritage is expressed through a dynamic Christian community of students and teachers vitally concerned with a relevant faith that changes lives and transforms society. We support deserving RCA students enrolled at Hope, located in Holland, Michigan. Rev. Gene Ryan, as well as many other members of CNRC, attended Hope College.

Its mission is to continue the ministry of Jesus in our time and place by enabling persons to translate their calling and gifts into faithful Christian ministry. NBTS has been training ministers since 1784. Rev. Scott Brown is an alum of NBTS. And, while CNRC does not specifically give of our benevolences to the other RCA educational institutions, they are still a part of our Reformed Church Family.
