Micro-denomination with two churches. Citations are exclusively to primary sources or to outdated sources of questionable independence and reliability. Participants in the 2013 AfD discussion highlighted the availability of coverage in Melton's Encyclopedia of American Religions (8th edition, 2009), page 252, but the coverage is so cursory that I do not believe it qualifies as "encyclopedic" coverage for purposes of establishing notability. (Citations to the two-paragraph Melton mention were never added in the first place.) The Melton source is based on a list of Reformed entities, most of which are not notable, published in 1999 ( see here). I cannot identify other independent, secondary, reliable sources that verify the notability of this denomination. Dclemens1971 ( talk) 17:20, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
