The Advantages Of A Non Denominational Church

By Marissa Velazquez


A non denominational church can be a good place to go if you need a change from where you are at the moment. Often if you are in one place for too long it can become stale with the same ideas that don't seem to change. If there are no goals or dreams of moving forward set by the elders it may be time to think of something else.

Sometimes the denominations that have been around for a long time come with a lot of traditions. Some people enjoy this, and others loathe it. This all depends on you and how you have been brought up and what you enjoy. Some people are in a comfort zone and it is not easy to escape from this. It certainly takes a lot of encourage, and often some force from a friend or family member.

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.

A non denominational church embraces people from all sectors, so everyone can worship together. It seems strange that people have to be segregated because they belong to an Anglican and a Methodist church, for example. At the end of the day, the belief is the same and that is what you should be striving for.

If you are able to break that and get out of your comfort zone, you may be lost coming to a non denominational church. There won't be any traditions. However, you may get to see what the genuine Christian is all about and you may be able to receive some of that warmth from others who have been blessed with this.

One could say that there is a greater sense of warmth in a non denominational church. They embrace everyone, and they would accommodate anyone who wants to say something. There is no routine and this is what people like about this kind of church. It is nice going there not knowing who is going to speak or what songs you are going to sing. Sometimes you may have communions, but this is not always a done thing.

Someone who is able to break out of that comfort zone and visit a church which does not present traditions that are present in one of the denominations that they may be used to has to brave. It may be a good idea to come with a family member or a friend. It will definitely be different, but it is worth the effort.

One can see by the size, that a non denominational church is really growing. People enjoy the modern feel as well as not really knowing what to expect. This is because there are usually a number of different people involved in the running of the services. They are also always available for the members, encouraging them at all times.
