First organized in 1710, the North & Southampton Reformed Church claims to be the oldest Dutch Reformed Church in Pennsylvania. Currently, the church is a member congregation of the Reformed Church in America.
The congregation was originally located in Feasterville, before moving to its present-day home on Bristol Road in 1816.
The church building has been remodeled several times since the original construction. The first such occasion, in 1902, aimed to move the church closer toward the Victorian style, a popular church style of the time. This remodel elevated the sanctuary and sloped the floor, creating a more theater-like environment. The first of two education wings was added in 1939 on the east side; an additional three-story wing was added to the west side in 1959.
In 1968, the congregation voted to enlarge, renovate and, most notably, restore the main building to its original state. In this renovation, the sanctuary was returned to ground level and a balcony was added.
