Christian Churches and Churches of Christ

Christian Churches and Churches of Christ are branches within the broader Christian faith that emphasize adherence to the New Testament as the authoritative guide for worship and practice. They typically focus on congregational autonomy, baptism by immersion for believers, and weekly communion. While both groups share core beliefs in Jesus Christ and the Bible, they may differ in worship styles and organizational structure. These churches aim to follow the teachings and example of early Christianity, seeking to promote a simple, scripturally based worship community without hierarchical oversight from centralized denominational bodies.
