The Real Reason I’m Leaving Non-Denominationalism

After years of serving, attending, and leading within non-denominational mega churches, I’ve made a decision that I never thought I would: I’m leaving. This isn’t a reaction to pain. I wasn’t “church hurt.” This decision came through months of prayer, study, and reflection—and it’s rooted in a deep conviction that something essential is missing from much of modern evangelical church life. In this video, I share 10 reasons why I’m transitioning from the non-denominational mega church world to a more rooted, historical, and liturgical expression of the Christian faith—specifically within the Protestant mainline tradition. We’ll talk about: • Why Communion should be the centerpiece of worship • The dangers of celebrity pastor culture • What’s been lost in the move away from church history and structure • The need for reverence, holiness, and true spiritual formation • Why I believe non-denominational churches often lack theological accountability • And ultimately, why I’m returning to a Church that preaches Christ and Him crucified—visibly, sacramentally, and unapologetically. This is not just a critique of the mega church model—it’s a call to consider what the Church is truly meant to be. 0:00 - Intro 0:40 - My background with Non-Denominationalism 2:58 - Ecclesiology: Church Authority and Structure. 4:25 - Ecclesiology: Lack of Connection ot the Protestant Reformation 4:48 - Ecclesiology: Lack of Disciplship and Accountability 6:05 - Ecclesiology: The Role of the Pastor 7:05 - Ecclesiology: Rejection of the Popular Gospel 8:56 - Liturgy: Lack of Holiness and Reverence 10:05 - Liturgy: Depth in the Sunday Service 11:34 - Personal: The Services are Feminine 11:48 - Personal: Shallow Fellowship 12:13 - Personal: Worship Music is focused on Emotions 12:54 - Personal: Community Groups Don't Work 13:29 - My #1 REASON OF LEAVING Non-Denominationalism. 14:50 - I didn't make this decision lightly 15:44 - Where am I going next?
