ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Christian denomination

Hi little one, so you know how there are different types of toys, like dolls or cars? Well, there are also different types of churches that believe in Jesus and follow the Bible. We call these different types of churches "Christian denominations".

Each denomination may have different beliefs or ways of doing things, like singing songs or taking communion. Some of the most well-known denominations are Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, and Pentecostals.

But just like how you can be friends with someone who likes different toys than you, Christians from different denominations can still love and respect each other even if they have some differences in how they worship.
