Assembly memorial minute, 2023
Note the passing of Rev Cor Vanderhorn (1942 – 2023) and insert into the Assembly record this memorial minute of the General Assembly’s sincere gratitude for his faithful gospel service to the church:
While sad for his absence from us, we rejoice that our dear brother, Rev Cor Vanderhorn has passed into glory on 30 October 2022. Cor served both the CRCA and the Presbyterian Church with distinction as this brief summary shows:
- After Reformed Theological College graduation in 1977, Cor began 15 years of full-time ministry as a Reformed Church minister (1978- 1993).
- His first position was Toowong, Brisbane, for a 6-month vicariate role.
- He was appointed to Seacombe Gardens, Adelaide (1978-1983).
- To Mt Evelyn as Youth Pastor in 1983 as well as Church Planter in Coldstream.
- After being received by the PCA, Cor was appointed to Sunshine Presbyterian Church.
- Following retirement in 2008, Cor and his wife Joan moved back to Mt Evelyn.
Cor’s dedication to the Lord was very apparent with the number of years of service between his ordination and retirement in both denominations: CRCA and PCA. His love for his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, was a testimony to his faith.
