From their initial close connection with St Johns Presbyterians, a committed group of immigrant Dutch Christians moved on to build a church true to the Reformed tradition at Kingston. With original sources and interviews supplementing his research, Kees Wierenga chronicles their 60+ year story, a story based on faith and prayer, bold decision making, determination and costly effort, not only in erecting a church but also in initiating the Calvin School, Jireh House, various aged care facilities and support for recent refugees.
