Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, Ordaining, maintaining His Kingdom divine, So from the beginning the fight we were winning; Thou, Lord, wast at our side,-the glory be thine.

The Reformed Low Dutch Church of Harlem is the corporate title of what is knoWll to-day as the Har­ lem Collegiate Reformed Church. It has two houses of wor~bip; one located just west of Third avenue on One­ twenty-first street, known as the First Church, and the other at the corner of Lenox avenue and One-twenty­ third street, known as the Lenox avenue Church. It is one of the oldest organizations in denominational com­ munion with the Reformed Church in America, having come into existence as early as the year 1660. Its pres­ ent membership roll numbers twelve-hundred. The parent church in this country is the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of the cit-v• of New York, better known as the Collegiate Church of New York. J"uly, 1628, is named as "the date of its organization, although for several years before that date it had its place of worship and conducted regular services. This place of worship was a loft above the first horse mill erected on :Niall.Lliattan Island. A wooden building close by the East river was constructed in 1688, and in 1642 the historic stone "Church in the Fort." As the Reformed Church in America owes its ex­ istence to the Reformed Church in the Netherlands it will not be out of place here t0 recall certain conditions existing in the Netherlands at the time of the Reforma­ tion, and some of the circumstances which contributed to the settlement of Manhattan Island. 11 There were seventeen provinces in the Netherlands and these comprehended the present kingdoms of Hol­ land and Belgium. That whole country had been an­ nexed to France in the time of Charlemagne (767-814), but in the :fifteenth century it came; through inter­ marriages, under the dominion of Spain. Charles V. became king of Spain in 1516, just one year before the appearance in Germany of Martin Luther as a reformer. It should be remembered that at this time the Nether­ lands had the finest cities of Europe, such as Amsterdam~ Antwerps Brussels, Ghent, and the population ~on sisted of several millions who were exceedingly prosperous. Finding many adher~nts to the Reformed faith, and converts to that faith n1ultiplying rapidly, Charles V. determined to crush out Protestantism. It was, there­ fore, at this period that there began in the Netherlands a series of persec;utions which continued for :fifty years, and which nearly ruined the country. Grotius tells us that 100,00,0 persons were martyred under Charles V. But the persecutions under Philip, who succeeded his father, Charles, in 1555, were even more severe.. He called from Spain an army of 20,000 men, and ap­ pointed as commander, the merciless Duke of Alva, at whose instigation the most horrible atrocities were com• mitted. However, the Reformed movement spread rapidly; there was an enthusiasm for martyrdom and many went to the stake singing psalms of praise in which the multitude joined. Not until 1568, when William of Nassau, Prince of Orange, came to the rescue, did there appear the faint­ est ray of hope for this persecuted people. Under his wise generalship they succeeded in driving back the Spaniards, and after the siege of Haarlem (1573) where 12 the Duke of Alva lost 12,000 of his soldiers, and the siege of Leyden (1574) where for five months the people held the city against the attacks of the enemy, it became evident that the crisis had passed and that the period of persecution would soon be at an end. There followed in 1576 the Pacification of Ghent, and .in 1579 was signed the UNION OF UTRECHT. This Union was formed.by the seven northern provinces, the southern provinces having withdrawn through the dom­ ination of Roman Catholic influences. ,..rhus came into existence the Dutch Republic, which then adopted as its watchword, Een-dracht maakt 1nacht-"Union makes might." In 1581, the people threw off the yoke of the tyrant and ceased to be a dependency of Spain. Religious liberty was proclaimed and the Re­ formed doctrines as held by the Swiss, and the Presby­ terian form of government were adopted by the Hol­ land Church. The extraordinary endurance and courage of this people may be seen in a simple reference to the siege of Leyden. From the walls of the city they called to the enemy: "You fom1d all your argu..1.uents on the :rr...isery and famine that threatens us; you say that we are eaters of dogs and cats; know that when this food shall fail us, we have each a left arm which we will eat while we pre­ serve our right to drive the tyrant and his bloodthirsty bands from our walls; and if God shall,.

  • West Park Presbyterian Church 165 West 86Th Street, Borough of Manhattan
    WEST PARK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 165 WEST 86TH STREET, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN The West Park Presbyterian Church is considered to be one of the best examples of a Romanesque Revival style religious structure in New York City. The extraordinarily deep color of the red sandstone cladding is combined with the bold forms of the round-arched openings and soaring tower anchoring the corner of West 86th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. The West Park Presbyterian Church was founded in 1852 as the 84th Street Presbyterian Church and formerly occupied a wood chapel on 84th Street and West End Avenue. The church purchased the site of the present church at Tenth Avenue and West 86th Street in 1882 and commissioned Leopold Eidlitz to design a small brick chapel on the eastern end of the site on 86th Street in 1883. It was completed in 1885. Eidlitz was a prominent New York architect who designed many New York City buildings, such as sections of the Tweed Courthouse and St. George’s Episcopal Church in Manhattan. The Upper West Side’s population dramatically increased during the 1880s and the church quickly outgrew the chapel. In 1889 the church commissioned Henry Kilburn to greatly expand Eidlitz’s chapel and create the main church in a manner which joins the two buildings seamlessly. Kilburn, who also designed many private residences in New York, including a number in the Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District, re-clad Eidlitz’s original brick chapel in sandstone during the construction of the new church, which was finished in 1890.

    2014-2015 Directory African American Presbyterian Congregations ABOUT THE AFRICAN AMERIAN CONGREGATIONAL SUPPORT OFFICE The African American Congregational Support Office assists the Presbyterian Church (USA) in addressing the needs of African American Presbyterian Congregations. The office provides leadership at all levels of the denomination in order to strengthen the nurture and witness of African American Congregations. The main focus of the office is growth, health and vitality for these congregations and their ministries. This ministry works in partnership with presbyteries and congregations to help experience the unconditional love of God through Jesus Christ that empowers African American Congregations to be prophetic witnesses to the power of love to transform people, history, cultures and institutions. The African American Presbyterian LEGACY of prophetic leadership for justice and a culturally plural society has transformed the church and the world. We encourage congregations to build upon this legacy in the present age. There are several challenges facing our congregations: 1) There are (442) worship communities, 3 new church developments and 2 Fellowships. 2) Membership – between 2011 and 2012 a. 178 churches lost members – 40% b. 105 gained members – 24% c. 159 no change or didn’t report – 36% 3) Church memberships less 100 a. 299 churches – 68% Lonnie J.
