The United Reformed Churches in North America (URCNA) is a theologically conservative denomination 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.

The URCNA was founded as a federation of Reformed churches in 1996 at Lynwood, Illinois URC. Most of the churches that founded the URCNA were previously members of the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA). The URCNA formed over issues of Biblical hermeneutics including the authority and accuracy of the Bible, creationism, and whether or not Scripture permitted women to be ordained into church offices as deacons, elders or pastors.
