Sudan United Mission (SUM) under Dr. Herman Karl Kum arrives in Nigeria. The party includes Ambrose H. Bateman, John G. Burt, and J. Lowry Maxwell. They receive permission from the British High Commissioner to establish a Mission Center at Wase, arriving in Ibi on September 3, 1904, and Wase on October 8, 1904.

John Burt travels to Wukari in April, making a second trip with J. Lowry Maxwell later in the year. This marks their first attempt to preach the gospel in Wukari.

May 29, 1906 - Wukari becomes a new Mission station occupied by Young and Maxwell. This date marks the official establishment of what would become the Christian Reformed Church, Nigeria.

Burt and Maxwell travel to Donga from Wukari. After Christmas 1906, Maxwell relocates to Donga and begins preaching the gospel there, joined by Hoover, Guinter, and Derr in January 1907. Donga becomes the center of their work in the region.

June 17, 1917 - The Church in Donga is constituted as a consistory (LCC).

Several visits are made to Lupwe, Takum area for possible expansion of the gospel. In 1916, Mr. Filibus Ashu Angyu becomes the first indigenous missionary to start work in Takum before the arrival of foreign missionaries.

A mission station is established and built in Lupwe by Mr. William Nuckle Bristow. In February 1921, Mr. Whiteman and Miss Johanna Veenstra arrive at the new station.

Another congregation starts in Ibi.

The gospel spreads further to Nyita through the efforts of Mr. Edgar Smith and Siman Atajiri.

Mr. Istifanus Audu, Edgar Smith, Musa Chiroma, and Habila Adda take the gospel to Kurmi area. The gospel spreads to the three major tribes in Kurmi. All these personalities were volunteers; they were not on any pay.

Before her death, Johanna Veenstra, a member of the Christian Reformed Church under SUM, had made necessary preparations for the Christian Reformed Church of North America (CRCNA) to take over the mission fields established in the region.

The CRCNA officially takes over the mission field which comprised of Ibi, Wukari, and Donga mission stations. This mission field is now known as CRC-N.

July 25, 1951 - The mission field is declared an indigenous church during its first meeting at Ibi with the name "Ekklisiyar Kristi a Sudan" (EKAS) Lardin Benue (The Church of Christ in Sudan, Benue Region).

August 1960 - The church is registered by the Nigerian Government, just a few months before Nigeria's independence. The church becomes a legally constituted autonomous body incorporated under the Land Act CAP 98 in Lagos with the name Ekklisiyar Kristi a Nigeria (EKAN).

Due to changes in the national geography as more states were created, the need to change the name became necessary. The church becomes Christian Reformed Church of Nigeria (CRCN).

This is the name we carry today — Christian Reformed Church, Nigeria (CRC-N).
