Assessment
Cornerstone URC sits in the heart of West Michigan's Dutch Reformed community. Like every URCNA congregation it holds the Three Forms of Unity, admits only qualified men to the offices of pastor, elder, and deacon, and practices catechetical preaching. Rev. Paul Murphy leads a strong family-oriented congregation with robust Sunday school and catechism classes for covenant children.
