Non-denominational Christianity (or nondenominational Christianity) consists of churches, and individual Christians, [1] [2] which typically distance themselves from the confessionalism or creedalism of other Christian communities [3] by not formally aligning with a specific Christian denomination.
The churches are independent congregations and typically go by the name "Christian Church", but often use the name "Church of Christ" as well. Though isolated exceptions may occur, it is generally agreed within the movement that no personal or family names should be attached to a congregation which Christ purchased and established with his own blood, though geographical labels are acceptable.

Parachurch organizations are Christian faith-based organizations that work outside and across denominations to engage in social welfare and evangelism.
