非宗派教会
(重定向自無宗派基督徒)
非宗派教会(英语:Nondenominational Church),也叫独立教会(英语:Independent Church),是基督教教会组织的一种形式。非宗派教会在教会组织体制上与传统教会、宗派、神学、信条等没有共融或隶属关系。[1] 独立基督教教会大多是由个别基督教牧师创立;因定义上的原因,独立教会绝大多是基于新教神学和信条的[2][3]。非宗派基督教教会没有一个明确的标准。非宗派基督教教会可以通过对其他教会的某些教义、政策等的承认来达到其他教会的认同,但维持独立的政策信仰监督,坚守三位一体。
一些非宗派教会基于原则,明确地拒绝作为一个新的基督教宗派,认为每个教会都是自主独立的。许多非宗派基督教教会都是基于美国福音派的基督新教教会。很多是大型非宗派教会,聚会人数有2,000-100,000人。
