Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Classical)

Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Classical) are a historic Christian denomination rooted in the Reformation, emphasizing the authority of Scripture, predestination, and the sovereignty of God. They grew from the Dutch Reformation movement and uphold traditional Calvinist beliefs, including a focus on God's grace and the importance of a disciplined, faithful life. They are organized in regional groups called "classes," maintaining a structured church governance. Their worship is often formal and doctrinally focused, and they stress both personal faith and community responsibility within their congregations.
