The Christian Reformed Churches of Australia have their roots in the European Reformation of the 15th and 16th centuries, affirming the beliefs that God grants salvation by grace alone, in Christ alone and through faith alone.
They are part of the worldwide family of reformed churches which came into being at the time of the Reformation, and declared themselves reformed from the teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic church at that time.
Whereas Martin Luther was the champion of the Reformation in Germany, John Calvin was the champion of the Reformation in Switzerland, Holland and northern Europe.

 History CRCA
He tried to work within the Church, but he and his followers were forced to leave their church in 1886, resulting in a second large secession from the Dutch Reformed Church.
Finally, in 1892, the bulk of the Christian Reformed Church was united with the Doleantie Churches to form one church known by the name of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (GKN).
The GKN did not want the age old church state power struggle to re-emerge, and so she worked toward the idea held by Anabaptists since the Reformation, that there should be separation of Church and State, and this is still the view of the RCA today.
