Dutch Americans in Michigan

Dutch Michiganders are residents of the state of Michigan who are of Dutch ancestry. In the 1840s, Reformed (Calvinist) immigrants desiring more religious freedom immigrated. West Michigan in particular has become associated with Dutch American culture and the influence of the Reformed Church in America and Christian Reformed Church in North America (both offshoots of the Dutch Reformed Church), centering on the cities of Holland^[1] and (to a lesser extent) Grand Rapids. Conservative denominations of the Reformed tradition include the Netherlands Reformed Congregations and Heritage Reformed Congregations. Dutch is still spoken by the elderly and their children in Western Michigan. As of 2010, 5.1% of Michiganders are of Dutch descent.

[note_n10-11] Denominations that don't fit in the subsets mentioned above.

[note_n7-12] Those are traditions and denominations that trace their origin back to the Great Awakenings and/or are joined together by a common belief that Christianity should be restored along the lines of what is known about the apostolic early church.

[note_n9-13] The Holiness movement is an interdenominational movement that spreads over multiple traditions (Methodist, Quakers, Anabaptist, Baptist, etc.).
