University Reformed Church (East Lansing, Michigan)

University Reformed Church is a Reformed Presbyterian Church in East Lansing, Michigan, founded in 1966. In March, 2015, the church shifted denominational affiliation to the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) from the Reformed Church in America (RCA).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Process of Leaving: Churches Moving From the RCA to the PCA )
== History ==
The church originated out of a desire of the Synod of the Great Lakes (RCA) to initiate a ministry to the campus of Michigan State University, which grew to over 40,000 students by the end of the 1960s. Such an effort had been achieved at the University of Michigan through the creation of University Reformed Church of Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1959. Under the leadership of Rev. James Schut, the Synod purchased land on Hagadorn Road, across from the MSU campus, in 1963. The ministry itself was not started until 1966, when the Rev. Tom Stark was called as pastor. Stark was a 1962 graduate of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, had been licensed to preach by the Chicago Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and had worked for four years in campus ministry with Intervarsity in Chicago and Urbana, Illinois. He was ordained in September, 1966 at Immanuel Reformed Church in Lansing.
The first worship service was held in the Alumni Chapel in October 1966 and drew 35 people. For the first year, evening services were held in the MSU Union, but moved to the basement of the chapel after the ministry purchased a piano that could be left there. Support and encouragement were provided for the first year and half by a steering committee composed of the Rev. Schut, Rev. Howard Schipper of Immanuel Reformed, and Rev. Calvin Malefyt of University Reformed in Ann Arbor. Communion was served once every three months by elders from Immanuel.
The ministry was formally organized as a congregation in the spring of 1968, with between 30 and 40 members. Services continued to be held in the Alumni Chapel until the new building was finished in June, 1976. An adjacent piece of property to the north was purchased in 1981 and an expansion was added on, called Ministries House, with space for offices and meeting rooms. An additional two-story addition was built in 1999-2000 to provide more classroom space and a larger church office. Tom Stark retired in July, 2002 after a ministry of 36 years. In August, 2004, the Rev. Kevin DeYoung was called as University Reformed's second pastor. DeYoung is a prominent writer and a council member of The Gospel Coalition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.universityreformedchurch.org/about-us/history.html )
