The Reformed Church, Steinway

This church began as a Protestant Union church in 1879 and a small building was erected on the southeast corner of 20th Road & 41st Street. The building was built with contributions from persons of all denominations and the last dollar of debt was paid before dedication which took place on Nov. 30, 1879. The building was soon found to be too small and a new edifice was put up on the northeast corner of 41st Street & Ditmars Blvd. in 1891. William Steinway contributed a pipe organ from Steinway Hall in New York and Mrs. Emily Woolsey a church bell. In late 1891 the Union Church was made over into a Reformed church. The ministers have been:

1891-1900	Uriah D. Gulick	1925-1950	John A. DeBoer
1901-1905	Calvin W. Lauffer	1951-1955	Henry Kreutzer
1906-1908	Charles M. Collins	1956-1960	Eugene Vanderwell
1909-1913	W. Gordon Lang	1960-1963	George M. Flikkema
1914-1925	Preston F. Strauss	1964-	Herman D. Dejong
