Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

Mission, Vision and Confession

 

Identity: We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a

fragmented world. As part of the one body of Christ, we welcome all

to the Lord’s Table as God has welcomed us.

​

Vision: To be a faithful, growing church, that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality and a passion for justice – Micah 6:8

 

Mission: To be and to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, witnessing, loving and serving from our doorsteps “to the ends of the earth” – Acts 1:8

 

 

What Disciples Believe

 

Open Communion – The Lord’s Supper, or Communion, is celebrated in weekly worship and it is open to all.

​

The Oneness of the Church – All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.

 

Freedom of Belief – As Disciples, we are called together around two essentials of faith: a belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and that Christians are free to follow their conscience guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, study, prayer and are expected to extend that freedom to others.

 

Baptism by Immersion – In baptism, the self-centered life is set aside, washed away and a new life of trust in God begins. Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, other baptism traditions are honored.

And above all, Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God, who offers saving grace to all who seek it through the Son.
