While many Boers were members of the [[Dutch Reformed Church (NG Kerk)]] in the past, very few have remained as the church has gradually grown more liberal. The same can be said of the [[Dutch Reformed (Hervormde) Church]], although in this denomination, as well as in the [[Reformed Churches in South Africa]], Boers remain a significant minority.
