History

 * The Reformed Church in America (RCA) is a mainline Reformed Protestant denomination in Canada and the United States. It has about 196,308 members. From its beginning in 1628 until 1819, it was the North American branch of the Dutch Reformed Church.
 * The Dutch Reformed Church started in the United States in 1628 in New Amsterdam, New Netherlands (now known as New York City, New York).
 * In 1819, it was known as the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church. Its current name is Reformed Church in America.
 * In 1857, a group of more conservative members in Michigan led by Gijsbert Haan separated from the RCA. They organized the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRC), and other churches followed.
