The Churches of Christ, also commonly known as the Church of Christ, is a loose association of autonomous Christian congregations located around the world. Typically, their distinguishing beliefs are that of the necessity of baptism for salvation and the prohibition of musical instruments in worship.
The churches are independent congregations and typically go by the name "Christian Church", but often use the name "Church of Christ" as well.
