The Family History Library has filmed nearly all church records of the Netherlands. The library has church records to mostly 1811; some are later. The specific holdings of the Family History Library are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog. You can determine whether the library has records for the locality your ancestor came from by checking the "Locality Search" section of the FamilySearch Catalog. However, if a record has been destroyed, was never kept, or has not been microfilmed, the Family History Library does not have a copy.
All records held by the Family History Library have been put online, so there is&nbsp; no need to use microfilm these days.  
 
In the FamilySearch Catalog, look under the name of the town where the church was, not necessarily the town where your ancestor lived. Look under:
 
NETHERLANDS, [PROVINCE], [TOWN] – CHURCH RECORDS
