The Mushrooming Of Non Denominational Church

By Jeffrey Stone


These churches are growing at the rampant rate that is now shocking most people. What is this so-called non denominational church? These are churches that are not answerable to any mother church. They were viewed as Protestant churches, but that comparison was somewhat not valid. These are churches that do not want to associate themselves with any denomination.

It should be noted that it was the faults displayed by the denominational church that made some of its members to seclude themselves and from churches that are not associated with any denomination. The causes are very minute but upon deep thinking one will accept them. They include:

After world war, two church leaders were noticed to have diverted their attention away from spiritual matters. All their attention was buried into political affairs and leadership. This made some believers to feel less attended. The people whom they thought had a moral duty to enhance their spiritual nourishment had a deficit in the same. For this reason, they opted to come up with their churches that will only be concerned with religious matters only.

Several years after the 2nd world war, the house of worship became too liberal. It accepted any person who was ready to be a member of this institution. This was not to be the case since traditionally there were groups of people who could not be allowed to be part of the congregation. Those believers who saw this as a violation of church norms decided to come up with their churches which will preserve their traditional understanding of this entity.

Sometimes down in history between the 19th and 20th century, the concept of marriage ultimately took a different diversion. People started getting married from different countries. Interracial marriage became a normal this. However, these marriages meant that the couples had different religions, and both want to worship as a couple. Therefore, there was a need to come up with a religion that tolerated the beliefs of different people having different Christianity beliefs. This led to the formation of non-denominational churches.

There has been a problem with most denominational churches and these problems are felt even today. The law to be followed by any Christian despite their denomination should be the Bible. However, they are carried away by their doctrines which they follow to the letter and eventually forget about what the Bible wants them. This has made some members of the congregation to seclude themselves and from their churches as they feel what is being done is not just at all. They typically believe in doing what they think is right.

The current members of non-denominational church point a finger at the ineffective organizations structure of these churches and its leaders. They even go ahead claiming that churches do not account for their finances.These two are due to the complicated structure of this denomination and tracing the one who is answerable becomes difficult as compared to non denominational churches.

The cropping up of non-denominational churches is a clear indication how most people have lost their faith in these churches. This is owed to the infringement of various freedoms in regards to how these houses of worship are operated.
