The Kenilworth Union Church traces its roots back to the original plan of Joseph Sears for the new village of Kenilworth. Over a century ago in 1892, Kenilworth was an open land area with fewer than 300 residents. The organizing vision for the church then as now was to be a faith home that welcomes persons and families of all religious backgrounds. Kenilworth Union was founded on the principle of a community of faith that would come together in a unity of spirit to worship and serve the God we know in Jesus Christ. As such, Kenilworth Union has the distinction of being the oldest non-denominational church in the United States and an early pioneer in the ecumenical movement.

Nondenomination or nondenominational refers to a christian organization, group, place or thing that is Christian in nature but isn't officially a part of a specific established christian denomination. Another word for nondenominational church could be independent church. Another answerThe Christian Church is split into denominations - groups that have a common way of worship, and in some cases, slightly different beliefs. As examples, denominations include the Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Episcopalians, Baptists, Methodists, URC, Salvationists, Pentecostals and so on.If a particular church does not belong to a denomination, then it is called nondenominational or a 'nondenomination'. Another name of a nondenominational church is a 'free' church. Most free churches are very Biblical and orthodox in their beliefs, but there are some dangers in being nondenominational.

In a nondenominational church, unless care is taken over doctrine, it is possible that heresies, fundamentalism or exclusivity can creep in as the church members are accountable to no one.
