Known until 1867 as the Protestant Dutch Reformed Church, the RCA has never merged with any other denomination, but it has entered into full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of North America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the United Church of Christ, and the Christian Reformed Church in North America.
