Catholic churches almost never use the label "Church of Christ," even though that is what they are. They avoid using this term only so as to avoid being confused with other denominations and communities of that or similar name already in existence, such as Churches of Christ; Independent Churches of Christ; International Churches of Christ; United Churches of Christ; United Churches of Christ, Congregational; Churches of Christ, Scientist; and Church of Christ, Instrumental. Catholic churces almost always have the word Catholic in their name.

The body of Christ

Protestantism and most Independent churches.

All churches are the 'churches of Christ' as long as they believe in Jesus Christ, Holy God, Holy Spirit and Christianity.

The Catholic Church is the Church of Christ here on earth.

The Churches of Christ is also a denomination. Their churches are identified by the name Church of Christ... For example, Stuartville Church of Christ or Plat City Church of Christ.

Churches Uniting in Christ was created in 2002.
