Classis Michigan

Like many denominations, the United Reformed Churches in North America is divided into regional districts. Various denominations call their regional districts by the names diocese, presbytery, conference, and similar names. Reformed churches with roots in the European continent generally call their regional districts by the name classis (plural classes). On January 1, 1998, the Covenant United Reformed Church of Kalamazoo became a member of Classis Michigan of the United Reformed Churches in North America. The first meeting of Classis Michigan was held on March 3, 1998 at the Grace United Reformed Church of Alto, Michigan.

The Stated Clerk of Classis Michigan is Rev. Wybren H. Oord.

Classis Midwest Meeting Agendas and Minutes

From the time that the United Reformed Churches in North America came into existence in October 1996 until January 1, 1998, the Covenant United Reformed Church of Kalamazoo was a member of Classis Midwest of the United Reformed Churches. Due to the rapid growth of the United Reformed Churches in North America, the second synod of the United Reformed Churches that met in October 1997 voted to divide Classis Midwest into several smaller classes. The current Classis Michigan was created as a result of that division of Classis Midwest.

The Stated Clerk of Classis Midwest was Rev. Ralph A. Pontier.
