The Dutch reformed are different than other Christian churches because of their history in the Netherlands. After the Reformation it was not uncommon for each country to have its own form of Protestantism. The French reformed, or Huguenots, the German Reformed and Lutherans, the Scottish Presbyterian, and the English Puritans. The Dutch reformed is unique not only from being from the Netherlands, but also because of Dutch Reformed Churches all hold to 3 creeds, called the Three Forms of Unity, that are unique from other denominational creeds. These creeds are the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Cannons of Dort. These creeds were all adopted in 1618 and 1619 and have been used in all Dutch reformed churches since.
In addition Dutch churches are governed by some form of a Church Order which regulates the government of the churches. This church order specifies the convening of churches together in larger bodies called classis, and the convening of classis together in a synod.
