Non-denominational
Non-denominational churches are independent congregations that identify as Christian but are not formally affiliated with any established denomination. They typically emphasize a direct relationship with the Bible and Jesus Christ over institutional tradition. Many are evangelical in theology, contemporary in worship style, and congregational in governance, often focusing on community, accessibility, and practical biblical teaching.
