Purity-focused Christian group

A holiness church is a Protestant denomination emphasizing sanctification—the belief that believers can achieve complete freedom from sin through the Holy Spirit.

These churches emerged from 19th-century Methodist revivalism and stress personal piety, moral strictness, and emotional worship.
