A Christian denomination is a distinct religious body within Christianity, identified by traits such as a name, organisation, leadership and doctrine. Individual bodies, however, may use alternative terms to describe themselves, such as church or sometimes fellowship. Divisions between one group and another are defined by authority and doctrine; issues such as the nature of Jesus, the authority of apostolic succession, eschatology, and papal primacy may separate one denomination from another. Groups of denominations—often sharing broadly similar beliefs, practices, and historical ties—are sometimes known as "branches of Christianity" or "denominational families".[citation needed]
This is not a complete list, but aims to provide a comprehensible overview of the diversity among denominations of Christianity. Only those Christian denominations/organizations with Wikipedia articles will be listed in order to ensure that all entries on this list are notable and verifiable.[citation needed]

Terminology and qualification[edit]
Some groups included on this list do not consider themselves denominations. For example, the Catholic Church considers itself the one true church and the Apostolic see, and as pre-denominational.[1] The Orthodox Church also considers itself the original Church, and pre-denominational.
Other groups that are viewed by non-adherents as denominational are highly decentralized and do not have any formal denominational structure, authority, or record-keeping beyond the local congregation; several groups within the Restoration Movement fall into this category.
Some groups are large (e.g. Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans, Anglicans or Baptists), while others are just a few small churches, and in most cases the relative size is not evident in this list. Modern movements such as Fundamentalist Christianity, Pietism, Evangelicalism, Pentecostalism and the Holiness movement sometimes cross denominational lines, or in some cases create new denominations out of two or more continuing groups (as is the case for many United and uniting churches, for example). Such subtleties and complexities are not clearly depicted here.
Between denominations, theologians, and comparative religionists there are considerable disagreements about which groups can be properly called Christian as disagreements arise primarily from doctrinal differences between groups. For the purpose of simplicity, this list is intended to reflect the self-understanding of each denomination. Explanations of different opinions concerning their status as Christian denominations can be found at their respective articles.
There is no official recognition in most parts of the world for religious bodies, and there is no official clearinghouse which could determine the status or respectability of religious bodies. Often there is considerable disagreement between various churches about whether other churches should be labeled with pejorative terms such as "cult", or about whether this or that group enjoys some measure of respectability. Such considerations often vary from place to place, where one religious group may enjoy majority status in one region, but be widely regarded as a "dangerous cult" in another part of the world. Inclusion on this list does not indicate any judgment about the size, importance, or character of a group or its members.[citation needed]
Historical Christian Groups[edit]
Branches of first-century Christianity[edit]
Early Christianity is often divided into three different branches that differ in theology and traditions, which all appeared in the 1st century AD. They include Jewish Christianity, Pauline Christianity and Gnostic Christianity.[2] All modern Christian denominations are said to have descended from these three branches. There are also other theories on the origin of Christianity.[3]

Catholicism[edit]
Main article: Catholic Church
The Catholic Church is composed of 24 autonomous sui iuris particular churches: the Latin Church and the 23 Eastern Catholic Churches. The Catholic Church considers itself the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church that Christ founded,[4] and who St. Peter initiated along with the missionary work of St. Paul and others. As such, the Catholic Church does not consider itself a denomination, but rather considers itself pre-denominational, the original Church of Christ. Continuity is claimed based upon apostolic succession with the early Church.[citation needed]
Latin Church[edit]
Main article: Latin Church
The Latin Church is the largest and most widely known of the 24 sui iuris churches that together make up the Catholic Church (not to be confused with the Roman Rite, which is one of the Latin liturgical rites, not a particular church).[citation needed]
Eastern Catholic churches[edit]
Main article: Eastern Catholic Churches
All of the following are Particular Churches of the Catholic Church. They are all in communion with the Pope as Bishop of Rome and acknowledge his claim of universal jurisdiction and authority. They have some minor distinct theological emphases and expressions (for instance, in the case of those that are of Greek/Byzantine tradition, concerning some non-doctrinal aspects of the Latin view of Purgatory).[5] The Eastern Catholic churches and the Latin church (which together compose the worldwide Catholic Church) share the same doctrine and sacraments, and thus the same faith.

Eastern Orthodoxy[edit]
Main article: Eastern Orthodox Church
See also: Eastern Orthodox Church organization, Eastern Orthodox Christian theology, and Western Rite Orthodoxy
The Eastern Orthodox Church is organized as a communion of autocephalous (self-headed) jurisdictions, some of which also contain within them several autonomous (self-ruling) units. They are in full communion with each other and claim continuity (based upon apostolic succession) with the early Church.
In addition, there exist a number of churches or jurisdictions which consider themselves Eastern Orthodox but are not in communion with the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Eastern Orthodox Church[edit]
Main article: Eastern Orthodox Church
This is the main body of Eastern Orthodoxy, consisting of jurisdictions in communion with each other. Some of them have a disputed administrative status (i.e. their autonomy or autocephaly is only partially recognized), and are marked as such, but all remain in communion with each other as one church. This list is provided in the official order of precedence. Indentation indicates autonomy rather than autocephaly, and autonomous churches are listed under their respective autocephalous mother church.

Like the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church considers itself to be the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church that Jesus Christ founded. As such, the Eastern Orthodox Church does not consider itself a denomination, but rather considers itself pre-denominational, being the original Church of Christ.
Independent Eastern Orthodoxy[edit]
These are churches that consider themselves Eastern Orthodox but are not in communion with the main body of Eastern Orthodoxy.
Autocephalous Turkish Orthodox Patriarchate
Bulgarian Alternative Synod
Celtic Orthodox Church
Evangelical Orthodox Church
Greek Old Calendarists
Macedonian Orthodox Church
Montenegrin Orthodox Church
Russian Old Believers
Orthodox Church of France
Orthodox Church of the Gauls

Syncretic Eastern Orthodoxy[edit]
These type of churches that blend with other denominations outside of Eastern Orthodoxy and are not in communion with the main body of Eastern Orthodoxy are identified as syncretic Eastern Orthodox churches.
Evangelical Orthodox Church (blends with evangelicalism and with some other Protestant elements)
Oriental Orthodoxy[edit]
Main article: Oriental Orthodoxy
Oriental Orthodoxy comprises those Christians who did not accept the Council of Chalcedon (AD 451). Other denominations often erroneously label these churches "Monophysite"; however, as the Oriental Orthodox do not adhere to the teachings of Eutyches, they themselves reject this label, preferring the term Miaphysite. Some of these Churches, especially the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria claim origination by St. Mark and his 1st-century missionary journeys.

Honavar Mission Church
Knanaya Jacobites
Malabar Independent Syrian Church (originated from Kerala India)
Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church (Reformed Oriental Orthodox church originated from Kerala, India, also known as Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar or simply Mar Thoma Church)
Historically, many of the Oriental Orthodox Churches consider themselves collectively to be the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church that Christ founded. Some have considered the Oriental Orthodox communion to be a part of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, a view which is gaining increasing acceptance in the wake of the ecumenical dialogues.
Independent Oriental Orthodoxy[edit]
The following Churches affirm a Miaphysite Christological position but are not in communion with any of the ancient Oriental Orthodox Churches for various reasons:
Antiochian Catholic Church in America
British Orthodox Church (founded in 1886 formerly as Catholic Apostolic Church of the West by Scottish-born British clergyman Jules Ferrette (1826-1904) to bring Oriental Orthodoxy into the British Isles without being Middle-eastern or Ethiopian)
Syncretic Oriental Orthodoxy[edit]
These are churches which blend with other denominations outside of Oriental Orthodoxy but retain a mostly Miaphysite Christological position, and are not in communion with the main body of Oriental Orthodoxy.
Orthodox-Catholic Church of America
Church of the East[edit]
Further information: Church of the East
The Church of the East split from the Parthian Church during the Sassanid Period. It is also called the Nestorian Church or the Church of Persia, emerged around the Persian Empire in the Roman era. Declaring itself separate from the state church of the Roman Empire in 424–427, liturgically, it adhered to the East Syrian Rite. Theologically, it adopted the dyophysite doctrine of Nestorianism, which emphasises the separateness of the divine and human natures of Jesus. After rejecting the Council of Ephesus in 431, and the following Nestorian Schism, the church spread throughout the Middle East, south India, and the Far East, before eventually suffering a nearly extinguishing decline by the Mongol conquests of Timur in the 15th century.
Subsequently, its patriarchal lines divided in a tumultuos period 16th-19th century, finally consolidated into Eastern Catholic Chaldean Catholic Church (in full communion with the Pope), and the Assyrian Church of the East. Other minor, mondern related splinter groups include the Ancient Church of the East, the Chaldean Syrian Church, and the Mar Thoma Church.
Protestantism[edit]
It has been suggested that this article be split into a new article titled List of Protestant denominations. (Discuss) (January 2018)
Main article: Protestantism
This list includes a variety of Protestant denominations which separated from the Roman Catholic Church during the Reformation, as well as their further divisions.[6]
It is important to mention that not every further division is eligible to be considered Protestant. A denomination labeled Protestant must subscribe to the fundamental Protestant principles, that is scripture alone, justification by faith alone and the universal priesthood of believers.
It has to be noted that this list gives only an overview, and certainly does not mention all of the Protestant denominations. An exact number of Protestant denominations is difficult to calculate and depends on definition. It has to be noted that a group that fits the generally accepted definition of Protestant might not officially use the term. Therefore, it should be taken with caution.
The majority of Protestants are members of just a handful of denominational families: Adventism, Anglicanism, Baptist churches, Calvinism (Reformed churches), Lutheranism, Methodism, and Pentecostalism.
Nondenominational, evangelical, charismatic, neo-charismatic, independent and other churches are on the rise, and constitute a significant part of Protestant Christianity.[7]

It sees an ecumenical relationship with the Anglican communion and is not Protestant. The church defines itself as "Apostolic in origin, Universal in nature, Biblical in faith, Evangelical in principle, Ecumenical in outlook, Oriental in worship, Democratic in function, and Episcopal in character".]

Baptists emerge as the English Puritans were influenced by the Anabaptists, and along with Methodism, grew in size and influence after they sailed to the New World. (The remaining Puritans who traveled to the New World were Congregationalists).

Evangelicalism (Restorationist, Charismatic, & Non-Denominational Churches)[edit]
Main articles: Evangelicalism, Restorationism, Charismatic Christianity, and Nondenominational Christianity
Restorationism, also described as Christian Primitivism, is the belief that Christianity has been or should be restored along the lines of what is known about the apostolic early church. Charismatic and Non-Denominational Churches are restorationist in ideology. The Plymouth Brethren were founded on the idea of Christian Primitivism, or "back to the beginning Christianity". Restorationist Churches claim apostolic succession by means of bypassing history to the nascent Church. It is important to note that some nontrinitarian groups could also be classified as Restorationist, claiming that they are the true restored Church, most notably the Latter Day Saint movement and Christadelphians.

Latter Day Saint movement[edit]
Main articles: Latter Day Saint movement and Mormonism
See also: List of sects in the Latter Day Saint movement and Mormonism and Christianity
Most Latter Day Saint denominations are derived from the Church of Christ established by Joseph Smith in 1830. The largest worldwide denomination of this movement, and the one publicly recognized as Mormonism, is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some sects, known as the "Prairie Saints", broke away because they did not recognize Brigham Young as the head of the church, and did not follow him West in the mid-1800s. Other sects broke away over the abandonment of practicing plural marriage after the 1890 Manifesto. Other denominations are defined by either a belief in Joseph Smith as a prophet or acceptance of the Book of Mormon as scripture.

This resurgence may in part be explained by the phenomenal growth of Pentecostalism and the emergence of the charismatic movement, which are closely associated with evangelicalism. However, there can be no doubt that the evangelical tradition "per se" has become one of the major components of world Christianity. Evangelicals also constitute sizable minorities in the traditional Protestant and Anglican churches. In regions like Africa and Latin America, the boundaries between "evangelical" and "mainline" are rapidly changing and giving way to new ecclesial realities."
