Christian sect organized in the United States as early as 1623 as the Dutch Reformed Church. The present title was adopted in 1867. It is North America's oldest Protestant church with a continuous ministry, and its oldest corporation. In doctrine they are strictly Calvinistic, and accept the Apostles' and the Nicene creeds, the Belgic Confession, the Canons of the Synod of Dort, and the Heidelberg Catechism. They are presbyterian in matters of government. They publish four periodicals. Foreign missionary work is carried on in Arabia, India, China, and Japan. They have a web site.
