There are about 41,000 different Christian denominations in five major 'families' of churches/communion. The percentages in brackets indicate the percent of the Christian population affiliated with each 'family' or group of denominations:
- The Catholic Church [50%]
- Historic Protestant and Anglican churches [18%]
- The Eastern Churches (Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Church of the East) [12%]
- Pentecostal churches [12%]
- Evangelical (non-Pentecostal) [8%]
These later two categories include a number of "non-denominational" or independent congregations. All five, however, have a various number of 'sects' within them.
The first wave of "non-denominational" churches are in fact the third wave of the pentecostal movement. Other independent congregations tend to be evangelical, and while may not belong to a denomination per se, often do belong to various parachurch organizations or adhere to a common set of standards and beliefs with other similar evangelical churches.
Some megachurches, by engaging in 'church planting' set themselves up as a de facto denomination while maintaining the "non-denominational" title.
Counting denominiations is difficult for these reasons, and also because of the web of relationships between churches. For example, the Catholic Church is made up of 23 self-governing (sui iuris) churches worldwide; the Anglican Communion is made up of 38 self-governing provinces. Some surveys count each of these separately (so Church of England is one, The Episcopal Church is another) and some count them together (Anglicans).
