What is Congregationalism?
Congregationalism is a form of Protestant Christianity characterized by its emphasis on local autonomy and community engagement. Inclusivity lies at the heart of Congregationalist principles, as each congregations retains the freedom to govern its affairs independently, welcoming diverse perspectives and fostering a sense of belonging for all members. This centralized structure empowers congregants to participate actively in decision-making processes, cultivating a strong sense of community where individuals are valued and encouraged to contribute to the collective well-being.
Guiding Principals
Through it's commitment to inclusivity and community, Congregationalism embodies the belief that every individual has a unique role to play in the shared journey of faith, enriching the spiritual experience for all.
Diversity
Because every Congregationalist has autonomy over Biblical interpretation, we can share individual ideas and perspectives to grow as a whole.
Spiritual Equality
Christ alone is the head of the church.
All congregants are considered spiritually equal.
Autonomy
Every local church autonomous and complete. Therefore, we do not "report" to any other entity.
Interpretation
Every Christian possesses full liberty of conscience in interpreting the Gospel.
