      • The Dordrecht Reformed Church is the 70th oldest congregation in the Dutch Reformed Church and the 16th oldest congregation in the Synod of Eastern Cape, although it is the 71st and 17th, respectively, to have been founded, because it moved up a place due to the merger of the NG congregation Middelburg with the Middelburg-Uitsig Reformed Church in 2010. The center of the congregation is the town of Dordrecht, Eastern Cape.
