Reformed Churches in Grand Rapids

a historical overview

These maps chart the growth of the various Reformed denominations in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Red dots show Reformed Church in America (RCA) congregations, blue dots show Christian Reformed Church (CRC) congregations, and green dots show other churches in the Dutch Reformed tradition.

To minimize extraneous information, the map does not show streets, railroads, or city limits. Only the Grand River and the church locations are shown. Years shown are year of organization for the church. The bullet lists indicate new congregations.

You can click on any map to see a larger version. (You'll need to use your browser's back button to return to this page.)

This is very much a work in progress.
