Congregational Union of England and Wales

The Congregational Union of England and Wales is a Christian organization that supports Congregational churches, which operate independently but share common beliefs and practices. Founded in the 19th century, it promotes the principles of local church governance, where each congregation is self-managed and makes its own decisions. The Union offers resources, guidance, and a sense of community among member churches, helping them to address social issues, promote evangelism, and support local and global missions. Though it has seen changes over time, it continues to advocate for the values of Congregationalism in the modern context.
