The United Reformed Churches in North America (different than the URC of the UK) are the descendants of the Protestant Reformation.
Since the Bible teaches that Christians continue to sin, the church will be corrupted over time. Therefore, Christians should always be attempting to reform the church, to put it back in accordance with biblical teachings and practice.
During the sixteenth century, Roman Catholics chose to stop participating in this process and actually condemned those who attempted such reform. Reformers were forced outside of the Roman Catholic Church and participated in the Reformation in Protestant churches such as the Lutheran, Anglican, and Reformed.
From 1618 to 1619, the Reformed churches from dozens of countries throughout the world sent representatives to meet at the Synod, or Council, of Dordrecht. There, they collectively stated their faith and summarized biblical teachings with three documents, or forms, of unity: the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, and Canons of Dort.
