The doctrine <strong>and</strong> polity <strong>of</strong> this body are quite<br />
similar to that <strong>of</strong> white Primitive Baptists, yet<br />
there are local associations <strong>and</strong> a national convention,<br />
organized in 1907.<br />
Each church is independent <strong>and</strong> receives <strong>and</strong><br />
controls its own membership. This body was formerly<br />
known as Colored Primitive Baptists.<br />

Netherl<strong>and</strong>s Reformed<br />
Congregations<br />
The Netherl<strong>and</strong>s Reformed Congregations<br />
trace their denominational origin to several U.S.<br />
congreagtions in the latter half <strong>of</strong> the nineteenth<br />
century. In the early 1900s several more congregations<br />
were organized. After the Second Wolrd<br />
War, iimigration from the Netherl<strong>and</strong>s gave rise to<br />
still more congregations, especially in Canada.<br />
Currently a little over half the mebership resides in<br />
Canada. Their sister denomination in the<br />
Netherl<strong>and</strong>s is the Gereformeerde Gemeenten,<br />
which were organized in 1907.<br />
Doctrinal st<strong>and</strong>ards are the confession <strong>of</strong> Faith<br />
(1561), the Heidelberg Catechism (1563), <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Canons <strong>of</strong> Dordt (1618-1619). This indicates the<br />
denomination is rooted in the Reformation <strong>of</strong><br />
1517. The congregation are divided into three<br />
Classes, which meet at least one a year. Every two<br />
years a Synod is held.<br />
