Wikipedia.org on Congregationalists

A Reformed (Calvinist) tradition of Protestant Christianity in which churches practice congregational government. Each congregation independently and autonomously runs its own affairs.

The Congregationalist Churches are a continuity of the theological tradition upheld by the Puritans.[4]

Congregationalism is a Reformed (Calvinist) tradition of Protestant Christianity that enjoins a church polity in which congregations are self-governing (cf. congregational polity).[2] Through the years, Congregationalists have adopted various confessional statements, including the Savoy Declaration, the Cambridge Platform and the Kansas City Statement of Faith.[8]

Unlike Presbyterians, Congregationalists practise congregational polity (from which they derive their name), which holds that the members of a local church have the right to decide their church’s forms of worship and confessional statements, choose their own officers and administer their own affairs without any outside interference.[9] Congregationalist polity is rooted in a foundational tenet of Congregationalism: the priesthood of all believers.
