The Spread Of Non Denominational Church

By Jeffrey Stone


Denominational churches have been taken by surprise due to the growth of these churches. These churches are spreading very fast, and statistics show that they will have a soon surplus the non denominational church. However, such a case should not be happening since they are all Christians and according to the early churches there was unity in times of need. Compared to what is going on now there is a very wide rift between them, and none wants to be associated with the other.

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.

Interracial marriages became very common in most parts of America at the beginning of the 29th century. However, these marriages came with one hurdle. Most spouses found themselves Christians from different denominations. Amid this confusion, some members of the congregation came up with the suggestion of developing a non-denominational church that allowed people to worship together despite the difference in their denominational backgrounds. Since it was something affecting most people, the idea was readily accepted by many.

They are in a dilemma of what to follow as their religious yardstick: is it their denominational doctrines which identify them from others or should they use the bible used by other denominations. Most churches make the mistake of going with their doctrines as they feel that they help in differentiating them from other groups. This brought a conflict in the congregation as other members felt like the Bible should always be the book to be used. That is why they formed their congregation that did not follow any denominations hence always guided by the Bible.

Most members of these churches have lost faith on how their finances are being governed by these churches. The leadership on its own is very complicated hence not competent in undertaking their duties. Unlike in other denominations, they have simple leadership structure is adopted and hence management of this house of worship is easy.

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.
