Calvary Memorial Church
Calvary Memorial Church of Oak Park is a nondenominational church on Lake Street in Oak Park, Illinois, United States. History In the winter of 1915, a few families from about five different area churches, representing different denominations and traditions, gathered in a home with the idea of starting a new church. These founders wanted this new church to be free of denominational ties and yet faithful to the Bible. On March 21, 1915, Madison Street Church met for the first time in a rented storefront on Madison Street. Their first budget was less than $100. In 1937, the name was changed to Madison Street Bible Church, and in 1959 to Calvary Memorial Church, its present name. A fire destroyed much of the facility in 1977, after which the congregation rented facilities for two years until purchasing its present building on Lake Street in the heart of Oak Park from the First Presbyterian Church. That current building is in the Richardsonian Romanesque Richardsonian Romanesqu ...

Nondenominational Christianity
Nondenominational Christianity (or non-denominational Christianity) consists of churches which typically distance themselves from the confessionalism or creedalism of other Christian communities by not formally aligning with a specific Christian denomination. Many non-denominational churches have a congregationalist polity, which is self-governing without a higher church authority. Nondenominational Christianity first arose in the 18th century through the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement, with followers organizing themselves simply as "Christians" and " Disciples of Christ". Often congregating in loose associations such as the Churches of Christ, or in other cases, founded by individual pastors, they have little affiliation with historic denominations, but many typically adhere to a form of evangelical Christianity. Most Nondenominational Christians in the United States fall under Protestantism. History Nondenominational Christianity first arose in the 18th century through ...
