Congregational Federation
Overview
The Congregational Federation is a fellowship of independent Congregational churches in Britain.
History
It was established in 1972 by churches that did not enter the new United Reformed Church, continuing an older English Congregational heritage.
Beliefs and emphases
It values local church autonomy, covenant community, Scripture, Christian freedom, and mutual support.
Worship and practice
Worship forms range from traditional free-church services to contemporary local expressions.
Organisation and life
Each church governs itself; the Federation provides fellowship and shared support without exercising a central episcopate.
