tour of 2850 kalamazoo

part of the orientation to the seminary is a tour of the crc denominational building on 2850 kalamazoo ave in grand rapids.

it reminded me of a mpr teltech, the company i worked for in the late 80's early 90's. it has a few departments with some inhouse service department.

• crc product services. they do the design, artwork, printing and packaging of denominational materials. from the g5 servers to the 4 color printing presses this was a full service department including the regular ups shipping department.
• information services. the IT department.
• financial services.
  
• crc publications. they publish the banner, faithalive resources, world literature ministries and marking of all the publications.
