In these days of large mega-churches, it's increasingly rare to find a church that's not being driven by a much larger outside organization. How can such a church function? Don't such organizations bring benefits to a smaller church?

We believe in the independence of a local body of believers—a church. Denominational or other para-church organizations do bring some structural support and benefits, however, we believe that the Bible teaches the independence of each local body of believers—each individual church.
