In another thread, I asked for input in compiling a list of major confessional Dutch Reformed denominations, already noting the URCNA. Bruce responded, to which I then responded:
The situation to which I referred is that I'm setting out to write (and hopefully publish) a small book to serve as a Reformed primer if you will, and at the end, I plan to have a brief "Recommended Web Resources" section, with arguably the most important category being churches. So as you said Bruce, in light of their mentality, I'm not sure whether or not the PRCA would be a good church to link to people that are either investigating the Reformed faith for the first time or just getting into it - the audience for which the book is indended.
The strict "primer" nature of the work is the reason I cannot include the masses of micro-denominations that exist within the Reformed community. So far, I have listed the following:
-Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (http://www.arpsynod.org)
-Association of Reformed Baptist Churches of America (http://65.71.233.194/arbca)
-Bible Presbyterian Church (http://www.bpc.org)
-Fellowship of Independent Reformed Evangelicals (http://www.firefellowship.org)
-Orthodox Presbyterian Church (http://www.opc.org)
-Presbyterian Church in America (http://www.pcanet.org)
-Reformed Baptist Fellowship (http://www.reformedbaptistfellowship.org)
-Reformed Presbyterian Church in North America (http://www.rpcna.org)
-United Reformed Churches in North America (http://www.urcna.org)

Orthodox Christian Reformed Church (OCRC) -- I think they're large enough to not fall into the "micro" camp
From their directory, it seems they only have eight congregations, but thanks for mentioning it.

PRC should be included in your list, despite their insular mentality. There's no question they are confesional.
I suppose I could use some counsel on whether or not to include them. For that purpose, it is necessary to clarify and elaborate on the situation, which I will do in a new thread so as not to distract from what I have created this thread as.
