Assessment
Phoenix URC is a confessional Continental Reformed plant in metropolitan Phoenix — Arizona is thin for URCNA presence outside this congregation. Standard URCNA pattern: Three Forms of Unity subscription, male-only officers, two-service Lord's Day, Heidelberg Catechism preaching. A meaningful option for confessional Reformed believers in the Phoenix metro where the confessional Reformed footprint skews PCA/OPC.
