This church started in 1911 when the first Dutch immigrants arrived in Brazil. Under the leadership of two laymen, Leendert Verschoor and Jacob C. Voorsluys, a church was established in the city of Carambeí, Paraná state. In the beginning they sought the assistance of Luth pastors for the administration of the sacrament of baptism. Some years later, after contacts with the Christian Reformed Church, with the Ref Churches in the Netherlands, and with the Buenos Aires presby of the Reformed Churches of Argentina, they decided to organize officially the first Reformed Evangelical Church in Brazil, and did so on September 14, 1933. On February 18, 1962, the Brazilian communities decided to separate from the Buenos Aires presby and organize themselves as the Association of Evangelical Reformed Churches in Brazil; the name was later changed to Evangelical Reformed Churches in Brazil (IER).
