Simply put, the Catholic Church was the only (primary) church for more than 1,000-years. By the time of the mid 1500's there were religious leaders who questioned the quality of Catholic leadership; eventually multiple groups broke away from the visible church (Catholic Church). In some of the break-away groups,believers considered themselves to be part of the invisible church (Body of Christ). This then was the origin of a non-denominational perspective. Of course, almost all groups found it necessary to establish some form of governance or standard for identifying fellowships with a kindred spirit or belief. Thus, the word denomination is very broad: ranging from a strong central governing organization to a lose affiliation, which is based on a common system of beliefs. Very few modern fellowships, that are of any size, are truly non-denominational in the purest form.

Whats the difference between nondenominational and interdenominational and do they have the same beliefs?

In general there is very little difference between the two. A church is considered "nondenominational" if it has no formal connection to a formal denomination; it may belong to a group or "fellowship" of like-minded congregations, but said fellowship is not recognized as a denomination, and rarely does such a fellowship have anything but a rudimentary overseeing government. A church may call itself "interdenominational" if it tries to appeal to people from a variety of different denominational backgrounds. These churches may be nondemoninational as well, or they may belong to a denomination that tries to minimize the differences between denominations, focusing on a base faith, for example, in Christ. Details of belief systems between different nondenominational churches, as well as interdenominational churches and organizations, will vary greatly, depending on the backgrounds and components of the individual congregations.
