The term local churches (地方教會) was originally used by Watchman Nee (倪柝聲) to describe Christian churches that form based upon the teaching of the ground of locality; however, its use to refer to any collection of independent Christian congregations in a city has become more popular in recent years. This article focuses on the former meaning, that is, a church that is based on the principle that all Christians in a city or locality are automatically members of the one church in that locality.
Christians started to meet as the local churches in the 1920s in China.
