What To Expect From A Non Denominational Church

By Marissa Velazquez


A non denominational church definitely carries a lot of benefits with it. There are many denominations that exist in this day and age, and some are even being formed today. Some people prefer to stick to the more traditional sectors, and others are more charismatic. However, this is a matter of opinion.

Often there can be a lot of inner war in the church and this can be a big problem for the congregation as well as for the elders. This starts out as something small and is just blown out of proportion. Certain places do things in one way and that is their belief. Often this takes over from everything else.

People enjoy going to a church where there are a lot of traditions. Unfortunately, they only hear these things and not what they are meant to hear. It becomes like the army where they are doing one thing, followed by the next. The mind is so focused on this routine like ritual that the message is not even heard.

The problem is that they are so focused on what they have to do next that they are forgetting on what is most important. Traditions like communion and reciting the words set out by the priest come first. However, the message does not come first on the agenda. It becomes more like a ritual.

You have to ask yourself why you are really going to a place of worship, because it could all be because of these traditions and this is when it becomes religious. It should actually be more spiritual because this is the main focus. One gets this at a non denominational church because they cater for everyone and there is a sense of unity.

Some people who are brave enough to come over may feel insecure at first, but there is something special about this kind of church that is able to incorporate everyone. Christianity is not divided into different sectors. The first question one asks is, "what denomination are you from?" This is like asking if you are from another religion.

People who go to these places of worship are happy to follow the lead. Most of the time there is not one minister or priest. There are a number of people that will alternate in speaking and leading in worship. This is what makes it unique. People enjoy the fact that they don't know what to expect on a Sunday, and this is definitely something to look forward, both for young people as well as the elderly.

A non denominational church is usually bigger in structure and is always organizing events and groups to make members join in. This is important because one needs to get involved. Joining a group can enable you to interact with other Christians and meet other people who have the same sort of beliefs as yourself.
