Protestantische Kirchen

Protestantische Kirchen, or Protestant churches, are Christian groups that branched off from the Roman Catholic Church during the Reformation in the 16th century. They emphasize principles like faith in Jesus Christ as the path to salvation, the authority of the Bible, and the importance of individual conscience. Notable Protestant denominations include Lutherans, Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians. These churches often have diverse worship styles and organizational structures, but they generally prioritize personal Bible reading, preaching, and a direct relationship with God, differing from Catholic traditions in doctrines and church authority.
