Non-denominational institutions churches are those not formally aligned with an established denomination.

This, however, does not preclude an identifiable standard among such congregations. Some non-denominational churches reject the idea of a formalized denominational structure as a matter of principle, holding that each congregation must be autonomous.

Some churches say they are non-denominational because they have no central headquarters while others are non-denominational because their belief structures are unique.

Simply put, it means that a church is not Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran or any other denomination of Christianity. The belief is that God is not Baptist, Methodist or Catholic. He does not care which church you belong to … just that you BELONG!

There is the belief that denominationalism is based upon division, and is therefore not what God designed. When people divide themselves, by men and doctrines into differing religious bodies with differing "faiths," that is not honoring God’s plan for His people and the church.  

Non-Denominational churches are not really any different regarding their core beliefs such as the crucifixion or salvation or the Trinity.

Therefore we must be discriminating with our commitments. Many people promise that what they are offering will be of help, but there are so many places where the delivery falls short of the promise.
