Most of these mainline Churches have been losing membership. I believe they are Dutch Reformed and traditionally extreme Protestant Calvinist like Presbyterian and Congregationalist. Mostly in Dutch areas like NY, NJ, and MI. Would not be many in say the south.

There're a number of old small RCA churches in this area (NWIL). I'm not sure at all of the history of that, but I suspect a spate of Dutch settlement at one time.

(One here in town has been dwindling for a while. I suspect they've finally dissolved. Last time I was by there was a Spanish sign on the building (Iglesia de Jehova Nisi).)
