Free Churches
"Free Church" is a loose label given to churches who separated or formed apart from the larger state churches of Christendom, generally stress an individual conversion experience and practice believer's baptism, and are often associated with one or more of the following movements: Anabaptism, Pietism, Restorationism, Pentecostalism, and Evangelicalism. Free Churches and Disabilities
Mennonites. The largest group directly descended from the radical wing of the 16th century reformation in Europe known as Anabaptists. The original Anabaptists rejected the notion that the church should be linked with the state and baptized believers upon their confession of faith. Today, the term "Anabaptist" is an umbrella term used to describe Mennonites, Amish, Hutterites, and some Brethren groups who trace their roots back to the original Anabaptist movement.
American Baptist Church
Church of the Brethren. A peace church with roots in Anabaptism and Pietism.
Pentecostalism. A movement within Christianity which emphasizes the direct work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the individual. Various waves of Pentecostal revival since the early 20th century have produced a variety of denominations as well as a "charismatic movement" among Catholic and Protestant denominations.
Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) A restorationist church which grows out of a 19th century Adventist movement in the New England region of the U.S. |
