Nederduitsch Reformed Church in Africa

Nederduitsch Reformed Church in Africa

The Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika (Netherdutch Reformed Church of Africa) like the NG Church traces its origins back to the Dutch settlement in South Africa in 1652. The church developed as an autonomous Reformed Church in South Africa during the Great Trek of Afrikaner-Boers in the late 1830’s. The Afrikaner Reformed Church members which remained in the Cape Colony under British rule evolved into the much bigger Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa (NG Church). The Church is mainly an Afrikaans speaking church. An Afrikaans website is available. http://www.nhk.co.za/
