My family was deeply involved in the Christian Reformed Church as we grew up. Learning the Catechism, attending every service the church held; and feeling the influence of the church in our lives was my experience from my earliest memories. Because the Christian Reformed Church broke from the Dutch Reformed Church, I would like to know what was the impact of those events on families in the Netherlands as well as in the United States (Northern New Jersey).

Here are several links to further your knowledge of the Christian Reformed Church around the world.
