The history of the CRA is one of helping the churches. When there was a need, the CRA tried to meet that need. It has never sought to be a controlling body, but a serving body. The only authority it has is speaking where the Bible speaks. The CRA depends upon the faithful support of the brethren in the churches. It realizes that its support is contingent upon its faithfulness to the purpose of its organization, the merit of the program, and its steadfastness in the faith.

Today the CRA still follows the original purpose of those who brought her into existence. That purpose is expressed in the pages of the Restoration Herald each month on its masthead where the words of Nehemiah 2:18 are printed: "Let us rise up and build."

May that continue to be our motto until Jesus returns. " Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. "
