The Dutch Reformed Church (in Dutch: Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk or NHK) was a Reformed Christian denomination which existed from the 1570s to 2004 when it merged with three other Dutch churches to form the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (Protestantse Kerk in Nederland, or PKN). At the time of the 2004 merger, the Dutch Reformed Church had 2 million members organised in 1,350 congregations. A minority of members of the Church chose not to participate in the merger.

abstract
  • The Dutch Reformed Church (in Dutch: Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk or NHK) was a Reformed Christian denomination which existed from the 1570s to 2004 when it merged with three other Dutch churches to form the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (Protestantse Kerk in Nederland, or PKN). At the time of the 2004 merger, the Dutch Reformed Church had 2 million members organised in 1,350 congregations. A minority of members of the Church chose not to participate in the merger. These former members organized the Restored Reformed Church (Hersteld Hervormde Kerk). It was one of the many new churches established across Europe during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. While the Dutch Reformed Church was based in the Netherlands, other churches holding similar theological views were founded in France, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, England, and Scotland. The theology and practice of the Dutch Reformed Church, and its sister churches in the countries named, were based on the teachings of John Calvin and the many other Reformers of his time.
