The Free Reformed Churches of North America (FRCNA) is a theologically conservative federation of churches in the Dutch Calvinist tradition. These churches confess the Bible to be the Word of God and believe it is faithfully summarized by the Belgic Confession, Heidelberg Catechism, and Canons of Dort. This denomination submits to the five points of Calvinism. It is the affiliated with the Christian Reformed Churches of the Netherlands (Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerken - CGKN).

The Free Reformed Churches of North America should not be confused (although named quite similarly) with the Free Reformed Churches of Australia or Free Reformed Churches of South Africa which are counterparts of the Dutch Reformed - Liberated church of the Netherlands and are affiliated with the Canadian and American Reformed Churches (CanRC).

Creeds of the Free Reformed Churches of North America

The Three forms of Unity

The FRCNA fully subscribes to all three of the historic Reformed creeds:

(i) the Belgic Confession of Faith (1561),
(ii) the Heidelberg Catechism (1563),
(iii) the Canons of Dort (1618-1619),

believing that these Three Forms of Unity, are not inspired by God but in all respects agree with the Word of God.

Early Christian Church Creeds

The FRCNA also fully subscribes to the three creeds of the early Christian church:

(i) the Apostles' Creed(+-150 A.D.),
(ii) the Nicene Creed (381 A.D.),
(iii) the Athanasian Creed (500 A.D.).
