Congregational Federation

The Congregational Federation is a group of independent Christian churches that share similar beliefs and practices but remain self-governing. They emphasize local church autonomy, meaning each congregation makes its own decisions about worship, leadership, and ministries. The Federation provides support, fellowship, and resources for member churches, promoting cooperation while respecting their independence. It originated in the UK as a way for Congregational churches to collaborate without merging into a larger denomination, ensuring they maintain their unique identity while benefiting from shared values and mutual encouragement.
