Hull First Reformed Church is a member of the Reformed Church of America (RCA). The RCA is part of the church of Jesus Christ. Its roots go further back than the 1600s when it founded its first North American congregation on the island of Manhattan. Its history can be traced to the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, to Germany and Switzerland during the Protestant Reformation, to the Roman Empire and beyond. To fully tell the story of the RCA, we must begin with the Apostles and with the countless loyal believers down through the ages.
