Non-denominational

Non-denominational churches vary widely in their specific beliefs, but most affirm core Christian doctrines: the Trinity, the authority of Scripture, salvation through Jesus Christ, and the importance of personal faith. They are not tied to any denomination's formal creed or hierarchy.

Non-denominational churches operate independently without formal ties to a denomination's governing body, creeds, or traditions. This gives them more flexibility in worship style, theology, and church governance, though it also means each church may differ significantly from another.

Many non-denominational churches feature contemporary worship with a live band, multimedia presentations, and a practical sermon. Services tend to feel modern and casual. Some, however, are more traditional. Most observe communion periodically and encourage small group participation.

Expect a welcoming, often casual atmosphere. Many non-denominational churches have a cafe or lounge area, a greeting team, and a come-as-you-are dress code. Services typically last 60 to 90 minutes and include worship music and a sermon.
