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 />
