Sometimes known as Campbellism in their early years, the churches of Christ are non-denominational conservatives that strive to keep themselves true to the biblical example without allowing changes in the prevailing culture to affect doctrine. They're not perfect, but they keep Christianity unsually free from the blight of doctrines of men.

Each congregation is ruled by its own elders, ostensibly without influence from a denominational "headquarters".

I'm proud to be a member thereof.

Yes, I'm quite familiar with the CofCs - I grew up & spent most of my adult life in them. I have a lot of respect for those churches. I always cringe when people confuse them with the UCC. I don't think you could find more polar opposites.
