Bible church

Scripture-centered evangelical fellowship

A Bible church is a Protestant Christian congregation that emphasizes the authority and centrality of the Bible, typically independent or loosely affiliated rather than belonging to a major denomination.

Bible churches tend toward evangelical theology and often feature the word in their names: First Bible Church, Community Bible Church.

The term signals a focus on scriptural teaching over liturgical tradition or denominational hierarchy.
