Our Beliefs and Practices

Like most Christians, Disciples affirm Jesus Christ is the
son of the Living God and all people 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.

Each person is free to follow his or her own conscience guided
by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, study, and prayer, and is
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.
