Breakfast in Tuscany

They say that it doesn’t matter where you belong as long as you have faith in God Above. But somehow, the church where you belong can influence you as a person. It is God who is the foundation of the church but people are his instruments to make it work and to spread His Word.

There are many Christian “churches” around us but each has its peculiarity. Each has its own system, affiliation and membership to a larger congregation. One of the many churches is the non denominational churches in Lexington KY. When you say non denominational, it is not part of a larger denomination such as Roman Catholic, Methodist, Southern Baptist, etc. They are those who remain autonomous or not formally aligned with an established denomination. Non denominational churches go by many different names and hold to a wide variety of beliefs.

Non denominational churches may however establish a functional denomination by means of mutual recognition of or accountability to other congregations and leaders with commonly held doctrine, policy and worship with formal external direction or oversight in such matters. One of these is the non denominational churches in Lexington KY. They have identified standards in their systems but they are not under one particular church but they should not be confused with ecumenism as well.

Non denominational churches can belong to one of two forms of independence: political and theological. This type of independence comes about, at times, because of a religious disagreement or political disagreement which causes some confusion or misunderstanding. Some churches say they non denominational because they have no central headquarters. Others, such as non denominational churches of Lexington KY, say they are non denominational because their belief structures are of one kind or the same.

Members of non denominational churches in Lexington KY consider themselves simply as “Christians”. They choose to be non denominational for some reasons but one major consideration is the freedom to direct the ministry and teaching of the local church without interference or control. They are anchored on what the Bible says in the book of Acts, wherein it says that there is no indication of a hierarchy of authority beyond the local elders of the church. Each church is self-governing and answerable directly to God Himself.

The non denominational churches, though independent, self-governing bodies, were definitely connected in fellowship and cooperative ministry. The measure of any church is not how it is organized nor what name it is called, but rather how faithfully it adheres to the teachings of the Word of God.

If your church is out of line with God’s word and refused a lovingly and patiently given correction, then it is time you should seek out a church that is faithfully obeying God’s Word.
