The Pilgrim Fathers Church in Delfshaven was used at the time by the Dutch Reformed Church

The building of the Dutch Reformed Church in Delftshaven, the Netherlands, is said to have been used by future members of Plymouth Colony to kneel in prayer the night before they departed on the Speedwell for Southampton, England, to join the Mayflower for the dangerous voyage across the Atlantic. It was later given the name Pilgrim Fathers Church by American visitors.
