Federation of churches
The URCNA believe that "marriage is designed to be a lifelong, monogamous covenantal union between one man and one woman."

The practices of the URCNA are governed by a church order derived from the Synod of Dordt of 1618 1619. The URCNA church order outlines the duties of the three ecclesiastical offices of ministers, elders, and deacons within the denomination. It also sets out the denomination's decentralized presbyteral form of church government as opposed to the hierarchical form of government found within the Anglican Church or Catholic Church. Each congregation is governed by a consistory made up of the elders elected from the congregation and the minister of the congregation. Periodically, delegates from each consistory will attend a regional classis or a denomination wide synod to discuss matters pertaining to the entire denomination. Both classes and synods are temporary bodies with no formal authority. Although they may provide advice on matters to local consistories that carry great weight, the final authority rests with the consistories of each local congregation. The church articulates the many practices of the URCNA churches. URCNA churches hold two services every Sunday with the expectation that members attend both services. The morning service typically focuses on preaching based on a particular passage in the Bible, while the afternoon or evening service normally is dedicated to being an explanation of one of the doctrines articulated the Three Forms of Unity. Both psalms and hymns may be sung during the worship service, although the psalms occupy the principal place of singing during the services. The URCNA practices infant baptism and requires a public profession of faith once members are spiritually mature (usually between the ages of 16 19). After members make this public profession of faith, they may partake of the Lord's Supper and are eligible to vote within the church. The URCNA church order also outlines the process of church discipline.

URCNA churches can be found in 22 US states, mostly in the Upper Midwest (Iowa and Michigan) and California, and in six Canadian Provinces, mostly in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia. As of 2018, the churches have grown, mostly through additional members leaving the CRCNA in the late 1990s, to 130 congregations spread across the United States and Canada, with 25,288 members, 198 ministers, and 8 Classes (Michigan, Central US, Eastern US, Southwest US, Pacific Northwest, Ontario East, Southwestern Ontario, Western Canada) in 2021. The URCNA monthly missions newsletters is called The Trumpet.

The United Reformed Churches do not have a denominational seminary or college; rather, Candidates for Ministry are extensively examined by their Calling Church and Classis regardless of seminary prior to their ordination or installation. Most of the ministers of the URCNA have been trained at Calvin Theological Seminary (Grand Rapids, Michigan), Mid America Reformed Seminary (Dyer, Indiana), or Westminster Seminary in California (Escondido, California) but the number of other seminaries represented is growing.

The Orthodox Christian Reformed Churches, another breakaway from the Christian Reformed Church, voted to join the URCNA in 2008 upon the latter's invitation.

The URCNA is in full ecumenical fellowship with the Canadian and American Reformed Churches, Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Reformed Church in the United States, Reformed Church of Quebec and Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America. The URCNA also has dialogue with the Reformed Churches of New Zealand, Korean American Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian Church in America and other confessional Reformed churches. It is a member of the International Conference of Reformed Churches and the North American Presbyterian and Reformed Council.
