The Christian Reformed Church of Sri Lanka (CRC SL) National Diaconate plays a vital role in supporting education through its compassionate initiatives. It provides monthly scholarships to needy school-going children, not only from within the church but also from the wider community, ensuring that financial struggles do not hinder their studies. Additionally, at the start of every year, the Diaconate distributes school stationery packs to Sunday School children in need, equipping them with essential learning materials. These efforts reflect the church’s deep commitment to nurturing young lives, empowering children with education, and extending Christ’s love through practical and meaningful support.
At the Christian Reformed Church in Kadugannawa, a dynamic kids’ club has been formed to support the growth and development of children in the church and surrounding community. The club conducts tuition classes at a small fee, making extra academic help accessible to families who may otherwise struggle to afford it. In addition to academics, the club organizes life skill development programs, teaching children important values and practical abilities that prepare them for future challenges. This holistic approach not only strengthens their education but also shapes character, reflecting the church’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded, responsible, and capable young individuals.
The Caring Hands program at the Christian Reformed Church in Dehiwela is a remarkable initiative that provides lunch for more than 265 children and adults. It is not just a meal service, but a ministry of compassion and care, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds to share food and fellowship. Many of those who attend come from underprivileged communities, and this program ensures that they receive a nutritious meal while also experiencing love, dignity, and inclusion. Through Caring Hands, the church demonstrates Christ’s teachings in action, reaching beyond spiritual needs to touch lives in very practical and meaningful ways.
The church stands as a bridge between past and future. We restore sanctuaries, care for pastors’ homes, and preserve every corner with devotion. Each act of building is more than construction—it is a promise, ensuring that generations yet to come will worship, gather, and grow within these lasting spaces.
As part of our ongoing commitment to growth and service, we are excited to share several upcoming construction projects that will further support our mission and provide for the needs of our clergy and community. One key project is the construction of a new church building and manse at Dikoya. This new space will serve as a spiritual home for the growing community, offering a welcoming place for worship, fellowship, and outreach.
Along with the church, the new manse will provide comfortable living quarters for the clergy who serve this congregation. We are also planning the construction of a new manse at Makandura. This will provide a dedicated space for clergy in the area, ensuring that they have a secure and supportive environment to live in as they continue their important work. In addition, retirement quarters for clergy at Dehiwela will be in the works.
This facility will offer a peaceful and dignified space for retired clergy, honoring their lifelong service to the church and providing them with the care and support they deserve. Each of these projects reflects our dedication to strengthening the community and supporting those who serve. We ask for your prayers and support as we embark on these important endeavors. These projects will be undertaken with the highest standards of ethical practices, ensuring that every step is carried out with care, respect for the environment, and consideration for the communities we serve.
As stewards of places dedicated to worship, community, and service, we are currently undergoing a season of restoration and renewal across several of our church buildings and surrounding areas. By God’s grace and with the support of our faithful community, essential construction and maintenance work is now underway at Wolvendaal, Galle, Kalpitiya, Bambalapitiya, Regent Street, and Kohuwala.
These efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to preserving the structural integrity and heritage value of these sacred spaces, which have served generations with grace. It is our responsibility to ensure they remain safe, welcoming, and spiritually uplifting for all who enter, now and for generations to come.
In addition to these churches, work is also progressing at the historic Consistory Building in Pettah, which continues to serve as an important hub for church governance and outreach. We remain fully committed to conducting all construction activities under ethical practices, with utmost respect for the history, environment, and communities that surround each location. Skilled professionals are guiding each project with care and integrity.
The “Little Lambs” Montessori operates across three locations, serving as a beacon of hope for families in need. These centers are run with subsidized monthly fees, ensuring that low-income earners in the community can provide their children with access to quality early childhood development. Each Montessori is dedicated to nurturing young minds in a safe, caring, and stimulating environment, focusing on building strong foundations in education, social interaction, and moral values. By easing the financial burden on parents, the church makes early education both accessible and impactful, giving every child, regardless of background, the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

The Brohier Memorial Home was established in 1977, driven by a desire to care for the elderly and made possible through a generous financial grant from the family of Eric Brohier. Built on the Gauder Trust Property, the Home was dedicated specifically to Christian men, as requested by the Brohier family, and has continued to serve this purpose faithfully over the years.
The Home is administered by a committee elected at the Denomination’s Annual Meeting, while a full-time Matron and domestic staff manage daily operations. Residents benefit from special meals and monthly worship services. Ongoing support from individuals and organizations through donations plays a vital role in the Home’s continued operation and its mission to serve elderly Christian men with dignity and care.
The Hoffman House, once generously donated by the Hoffman family, was originally meant to serve as a home for elderly women in need. Although early efforts to create a “Home for Christian Women” fell short, the building remained a symbol of hope. Years later, the St. Nicholaas and Brohier Memorial Homes Trust of Melbourne, Australia, restored this vision by funding a full renovation, reviving the historic structure with care and compassion. Officially handed over to the Church in 2009, the renewed Hoffman House now stands as a testament to generosity and renewal.
The National Diaconate committee of the CRCSL overlooks the home and its administration and has been entrusted with developing a new proposal to fulfill the original mission, whilst actively seeking partnerships with like-minded organizations to ensure continued support and sustainability of this meaningful initiative.
