[edit] History

Formed in 1993 due to a split in the Netherlands Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States.

In 2005, the 'Netherlands' part of the denomination name was dropped to become 'Heritage Reformed Congregations'.

As of 2008 there are six churches in the United States and five in Canada. The denomination owns and operates the Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, and is also a member of the North American Presbyterian and Reformed Council.

[edit] Beliefs

Holding to the Reformed tradition, faith is centered in Christ, final authority is the Holy Scripture. The Heritage Reformed Congregations subscribe to the Three Forms of Unity and the Five Points of Calvinism.
