  Dutch Reformed Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dutch Reformed Church or Netherlands Reformed Church (in Dutch: Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk (NHK)) is a historical denomination of Christian Protestantism based on the teachings of John Calvin.
It was the oldest Reformed church in the Netherlands and before the demise of the Dutch Republic enjoyed status as the 'public' or 'privileged' church.
The historical church organisation was swept aside by the 'Regulations' imposed by the new government and the church was put under royal control with its Synod being personally nominated by the King until 1852.

These three secessions total 397 members, and while 277 of these members are also counted as members in the 1996 CRC yearbook, this represents a statistically insignificant dual report in the CRC numbers.
