Our Beliefs and Practices

Like most Christians, Disciples affirm

Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God & 

All persons are God's Children

Open Communion

The Lord's Supper, or Communion is celebrated in weekly worship. 

It is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ

Freedom of Belief

Disciples are called together around one essential of faith: 

belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, persons are free to follow their consciences guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, study and prayer 

and are expected to extend that freedom to others. 

Baptism by Immersion

In baptism the old self-centered life is set aside, and a new life of trust in God begins. Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, 

other baptism traditions are honored.  

Belief in the Oneness of the Church

All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities 

for common witness and service.

The Ministry of Believers

Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, 

service and spiritual growth.
