Interesting Features Of A Non Denominational Church

By Anita Ortega


Most Christians flock them every Sunday with the hope of getting their spirits lifted to another level. Wherever you go, one cannot miss a non denominational church. Their members have a high sense of unity considering the way they greet and visit each other. They also send each other gifts. People from all social standards are accommodated and it is this lovely feeling that makes them to pay more visits and eventually become permanent members.

In the city Denver Colorado, many such churches exist. Each of them has a feature that is peculiar to it and that distinguishes it from the rest. These features range from the structure of the buildings to the arrangement of pews and how the worship services are conducted. Another peculiar feature might be the specific Bible versions that members are allowed to use.

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 keeps the members together is their appreciation of diversity. They are aware that people have diverse beliefs and ideologies. They have a basic conviction that unites them though, the conviction that Jesus is the savior of the world. Other things they might do differently but they seem to have unspoken oneness.

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 kind of music they play is also interesting. They have a wide variety. You can get samba, kwaito or rock beats among others, all under one roof. The level of expertise with which the band plays will also leave you mesmerized. They play with passion and the sound that emanates is wow!

To make everyone feel at home, no one is judged based on their mode of dressing. It is your own decision to choose the clothes to wear. They only regulate and offer counseling services to those who might go to extremes. This is unlike mainstream denominations where you are most likely to find some dress codes are forbidden. Girls, for instance, are not allowed to wear trousers in some churches and this makes them to feel alienated and as a result they withdraw.

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.
