What do you mean “connectional church”? I haven’t heard that term before.

Connectional churches are churches with multiple levels of governance and appeal - say Classis and Synod, or Presbytery and General Assembly.

They are distinguished from churches with congregational forms of government (such as the Baptists) or episcopal forms of government (Episcopal, Catholic, Anglican)
