/ˌkɒŋɡrɪˈɡeɪʃənəl//ˌkɑːŋɡrɪˈɡeɪʃənəl/

The word "congregational" originates from the Latin "congregatio," meaning "a gathering together" or "assembly." This term was used to describe a group of people coming together for a specific purpose, such as worship or community. In the 16th century, the term "congregational" was adopted by the Reformed churches, particularly in England and Scotland, to describe their form of church government. In this system, the congregation (or local church) has authority over its own affairs, rather than being controlled by a central hierarchy. Today, the term "congregational" is often used to describe churches that follow this style of governance, where the members of the local church have a significant degree of autonomy and decision-making power.
