Continued Reformed Churches in the Netherlands

The Continued Reformed Churches in the Netherlands or VGKN (Dutch: Voortgezette Gereformeerde Kerken in Nederland) is a federation of churches founded on 8 May 2004, in the Netherlands.

When the Reformed Church in the Netherlands merged with the Protestant Church in the Netherlands on 1 May 2004, many churches were worried about the new church order. Their main concern was the plurality and different interpretation of the Christian faith.

Churches

The federation originally consisted of seven churches:

The Reformed Church in Den Bommel was affiliated to the Protestant Church. The Haarlem Church joined the Netherlands Gereformeerde Kerken in 2005. In May 2006 a new church in Drachtstercompagnie joined the federation. In 2012 a new congregation joined the Continued Reformed Churches in Boelenslaan. The denomination currently has 5 congregations[1] and about 1200 members (2019),[2] the chairman is Rev. Kersten Bijleveld.[1]
