Yes! The answer is in the question, "Christian churches". Christian means following the teachings of Jesus, the Christ. A Christian church is made up of a community of individuals that follow those teachings. Non-denominational indicates the Christian church is not connected to an organized religious group; Methodist, Lutheran, Congregational, etc. The Christian instruction of a non-denominational protestant church is not filtered through the teachings of John Wesley, Martin Luther, Calvin etc. Therefore the instruction comes directly from the New Testament. There is a caveat however. Some non-denominational churches use the christian label but their instruction is based on the Old Testament of Judgement rather than the New Testament of Love. When you visit a "non-denominational Christian church" if you leave feeling worse than you walked in you are probably in the wrong church where Judgement is the word of the day rather than Love. If you leave a church feeling better than you walked in, you have probably witnessed Christian Love.
