The Netherlands Reformed Congregations of North America was formed in the early 1900's. Many Dutch speaking churches began to organize in North America as a result of the immigration wave of families from the Netherlands in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These churches were at first affiliated with the various denominations in the Netherlands from which the members had left. Our group of churches was originally affiliated with the Reformed Congregations of the Netherlands but as the number of churches in North America grew it became more practical to form a new denomination. This allowed us to train our own ministers and to have local oversight. We thus became the Netherlands Reformed Congregations of North America (NRC).

Mennonites have been around for almost 500 years. Early leaders rejected the state church's control over peoples' lives. Mennonite ideas and insistence on separation between church and state are equally important today, when some governments in the global community attempt to suppress the rights of individuals and non-conformist communities.
