The Shiloh Reformed Church, East South Bethlehem, now Northampton Heights, was organized January 19, 1888, with eleven charter members by Rev. A.B. Koplin, D.D., of Hellertown. The church was built and dedicated in 1901. Dr. Koplin continued his pastorate until 1908, when Rev. T.R. Dietz took charge as pastor for three years. Since 1911, the Rev. T.C. Strock has been pastor. The congregation has increased in influence and numbers, especially during the last years. The membership now is one hundred and ninety-eight (198).

The Grace Reformed Church, Fountain Hill, South Bethlehem, was organized by a committee of Tohickon Classis of which Rev. Dr. N.Z. Snyder was chairman, on May 10, 1908, with five members. The present pastor, Rev. T.C. Brown, began his pastorate June 1, 1908. During this same year the church was built, and dedicated in October. There has been a steady growth during these seven years, and there are now 106 members.

The Hungarian, or Magyar, people of the Reformed faith for some years worshipped in the First Reformed Church, until 1906, when the Hungarian Reformed Church was organized, which is now located on East Fourth Street. Rev. John Erdelyi was the first regular pastor, continuing until March, 1908, when the present pastor, Rev. Emil Nagy, took charge. The present building was bought and remodeled into a church in 1907. The congregation now numbers 167, has a large Sunday School and a large Hungarian Society. This congregation is a member of the Reformed Church of Hungary.
