In the early 1980’s HopeTree founded the Church Representative Network (CRN) with the goal to enlist one person from each Baptist church in Virginia to act as HopeTree's spokesperson and advocate. Over the years, hundreds of people have participated in the CRN program, and HopeTree has built very strong friendships with churches because of CRN volunteer efforts.

CRN volunteers help increase awareness of HopeTree within their churches and communities. We depend on volunteers to encourage participation in HopeTree's events, special offering days, and to simply keep everyone informed of news of HopeTree.

If you are interested in participating in this important program of the HopeTree, please contact David Wilson at (540) 389-2112.
