Hamilton Reformed Church. Records, 1887-1981.

Hamilton Reformed Church in Hamilton, Michigan, also known as the First Reformed Church of Hamilton, was established in 1870 by the Board of Domestic Missions of the Reformed Church in America. In 1873, the congregation was put in the care of the Overisel Reformed Church and the church property was used by area Methodists due to the small number of people with a Reformed background. In 1887, Hamilton Reformed Church was reorganized and hosted visiting pastors until 1889 when Rev. A. H. Strabbing was called to the church. After a fire destroyed the American Reformed Church of Hamilton in 1944, the congregation of the First Reformed Church merged with that of the American Reformed Church. The name of the of congregation was formally changed to Hamilton Reformed Church on May 10, 1950, the day of the first service in the new church building, which was built on the same site.
