Reformed Christian Confessions of Faith - Continental Reformed

Continental Reformed

  • Three Forms of Unity:
    • Heidelberg Catechism (1563)
    • Belgic Confession (1566)
    • Canons of Dordt (1619)
  • Gallic Confession (1559)
  • Second Helvetic Confession (1566)
  • Theological Declaration of Barmen (1934)
  • Belhar Confession was first adopted in South Africa in 1986 and has since been adopted by many Reformed churches

The Three Forms of Unity are common among Reformed churches with origins in the European continent (especially those in the Netherlands).

In addition to these confessions, Continental Reformed leaders responded to the Lutheran Formula of Concord by releasing their own Harmonia confessionum fidei (Harmony of the Confessions of Faith) in 1581.
