The congregation existed from about 1550; Leenaert Bouwens baptized eight persons here (possibly only two, the six others having been baptized at 'tZandt, a village about four miles south of Zijldijk). The Zijldijk meetinghouse, dating from 1791, is a fine specimen of the old barn type. The membership was always small: cl30 in 1710, 89 in 1733, 33 in 1767, 13 in 1802, 62 in 1861, 83 in 1900, 39 in 1926, 65 in 1958. Most of the members live in the villages surrounding Zijldijk.
