SPEAKERS

Rev. Paul Murphy

Rev. Paul Murphy was born in Rome, Italy and came to this country when he was three. He was raised in an Irish-Catholic neighborhood in the Bronx, NYC. Although he was an altar boy in the Catholic church and attended regularly until age 14, he did not know Jesus Christ personally. From an early age he searched for Truth and the meaning of life. A college degree in philosophy brought him no closer to the Truth. He pursued a career in deep-sea diving and underwater construction that took him all around the world as he continued his search for Truth in vain. At age of 29 he was confronted with the claims of Jesus Christ. The Lord broke down the barriers of his heart and captivated his life. The Truth had found him! Now, like the apostle Paul, this Paul can say “to live is Christ." Though we all have the privilege of serving the Lord, Pastor Murphy has been granted to serve the Lord in one of the most prominent and spiritually dangerous places on Earth: Manhattan, where in 2003, as a response to the attack on the Twin Towers, Rev. Murphy founded Messiah’s Reformed Fellowship. Prior to that, Rev. Murphy pastored Dutton United Reformed Church in Michigan for 12 years. He has served on the Missions & Church Planting Committees for the URCNA for several years. Rev. Murphy is married to his fabulous wife Julie.

Julie Murphy

Julie Murphy is married to Pastor Paul Murphy of Messiah’s Reformed Fellowship in Manhattan. Raised in Arizona, she made her way to New York to pursue an acting career in her 20’s. A co-worker witnessed to her and led her to the Lord. She met her heart’s desire at a church in Brooklyn, got married and moved to Western Michigan. Her husband pastored a church there for 12 years and they were blessed to have five children. In 2003, God called Paul back to New York City to plant a URC church in Manhattan in response to the 9/11 attacks. He has pastored there for 20 years and she has mentored many young women in the congregation. Three of their five children are now married with one grandchild on the way. Pastor & Julie live just north of Manhattan and life is never dull!
