New Reformed Churches

The Reformed Churches (Restored) (Dutch: Gereformeerde Kerken in Nederland (hersteld)), also known as the New Reformed Churches (Dutch: Nieuwe Vrijgemaakte Kerken) constitute a Christian denomination in the Netherlands. It separated from the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated) in 2003. Officially named the "Reformed Churches in the Netherlands", they are usually called the "Reformed Churches (Restored)" to avoid confusion with the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated) and the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (GKN).

In the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated) or GKV has always been a group that believed that the Liberated Reformed church is the only true denomination. In 1985 a document was released, which stated that the GKV is the only true church. In 2003 in the GKV a group become dissatisfied, and separated from the GKV, because of the Synod decision on divorce and Sunday rest.

The Three Forms of Unity, the Belgic Confession, Canons of Dort and the Heidelberg Catechism are the official standards adopted in the First Synod meetind in 2005.

In 2007 the church had one Synod, 2 classes and 12 congregations in the Netherlands. In the Southwest Classis are congregations in Bergschenkhoek, Hasselt and Zwolle. In the Northeast Classis have congregations in Emen, Groningen, Olterterp, Marienberg, Bruchtervelt, Assen and Bergentheim.
