The Reformed Church in America

The Reformed Church in America (RCA) is a theologically theologically moderate, Protestant Christian denomination. It is an offshoot of the Presbyterian branch of the Reformation that took root in the Netherlands.  It became an autonomous American organization in 1776 and as of 2000 had approximately 304,000 members with 724 churches in the United States.  

The Reformed Church in America participation in the FACT project included a survey of 724 churches randomly chosen from a listing of all RCA congregations in the United States.  A total of 515 questionnaires were returned for a 71.13% response rate.  View the version of the questionnaire used by the Reformed Church in America.
