DENOMINATIONAL CHART

© Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary 6/2020

The Denominational Chart is intended to serve as a useful tool - a launching point - for our students in their denominational search. It contains general information,
categorized by topics that seem to matter most to our students in their selection process: church polity, theology, stance on women in leadership, and view on
baptism.

The denominations listed in this Chart reflect the top-represented denominations from the Gordon-Conwell student body. Omission of any particular denomination
does not reflect a negative view on the part of the seminary, nor does inclusion in this chart reflect our endorsement. Also, the descriptions and categorizations are
written from a general evangelical stance, and do not connote their official endorsement by the respective denomination.

The Mentored Ministry Department welcomes any clarifications, updates or corrections from knowledgeable readers or denominational representatives to improve
the accuracy of this Chart. We also reserve the right to decide whether the proposed changes should be adopted. Most of all, we hope and pray that this Chart will be
of genuine help to our students as they seek God’s direction for their lives and ministry.

Theological
Distinctives Gender* Baptism* Other Distinctives Local/Regional
Denomination Polity (Liberal; Mixed; (Egalitarian or (Pedo/Covenant,
Contact
Conservative, Complementarian) Credo/Believers,
Reformed; Both) Information
Charismatic;
Pentecostal

DEFINITIONS:
Polity: Congregational = major decisions effecting the local church (including ordination) are made by the congregation.
Episcopal = major decisions affecting the local church are made by the denominational leadership; ordination approved by bishops.
Presbyterian = major decisions effecting the local church are made by the ruling elders; ordination approved by presbytery.
Theology: Categorizations of these distinctives are taken from a centrist Evangelical perspective. The terms “Conservative,” “Charismatic,” and “Pentecostal” carry the
assumption that these denominations are also Evangelical.
Gender: Complementarian* = the view that women may not be ordained nor have leadership positions over men.
Egalitarian* = the view that women may be ordained and/or have leadership positions over men.
(*There are modifications and variations on each of these positions. Also, please note that in certain denominations, particularly with a congregational system of polity,
the emphasis or practice of a given view might vary from congregation to congregation.)
Baptism: Pedo/Covenant = infant baptism practiced, along with adult convert baptism.
Credo/Believers = believer-baptism only.
