Interesting Features Of A Non Denominational Church

By Anita Ortega


Every time you feel like going to church, you are always confronted with the feeling to change environment. At times you have travelled to an area where the church you are used to has no branch. What do you do at such times? Maybe you should try a non denominational church. Here are some interesting features that make them distinctive and inviting.

Denver city of Colorado State is filled with these churches. Though they seem to be having similar ideologies, they are distinct from each other in various ways. Some have peculiar buildings while others have funny beliefs that might conflict with other believers. Structural features such as building styles and seat arrangements also do exist. Each of them also has a unique order of worshiping. Most of them also do not encourage the reading of Bible versions that are peculiar to other traditional churches.

A good example is Pathways Church which shares a building with a Jewish church. The building is relatively old and the seats are not cushioned. The preaching there is very interesting. They tackle some topics that could be unheard of in traditional churches. This they do with a smooth touch of biblical principles and accommodation of varying ideologies.

What causes these believers in such churches to unite is their common belief and spiritual attachment to the lord Jesus Christ. Despite your nationality, skin color or age bracket, there is always a room for you. When the adults are having the main service, the children are in Sunday school. The youths also have their special retreats.

Unlike the mainstream churches, they have no restrictions that separate them from other Christians. So long as you believe in Christ, current lifestyle does not matter as they believe the lord is able to save you and change you. It is such flexibility that has seen people like prostitutes who are considered worst sinners leaving the streets for the church. They are happy to belong to a family where Christ forgives them and no one condemns them.

The music is also good in these places. Theirs are not the traditional slow hymns that characterize mainstream denominations. Contrastingly, the music is fast with modern pop tunes. The band can play a wide variety of styles such as hip hop, rock and reggae to the acclaim of the audience. There is no discrimination that some types of music are ungodly. As long as the message is godly then the song is taken to be religious.

When it comes to lifestyle, they are understanding and non judgmental. Instead of condemning, they offer guidance and counseling for free to rehabilitate people with maladjusted behavior. You can be a drunkard or a pick pocket, when you enter but chances are high your life will be turned around if you continue attending.

For those who have relocated to a new area and are looking for a place to worship, the best choice to consider would be a non-denominational church. If you are tired of your church and you want a new environment, trying this option would prove to be worthwhile. This is the reason why even institutions such as schools and colleges have non-denominational Christian unions to accommodate everyone.
