BASIC BELIEFS OF THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a mainline Protestant denomination that was born on American soil in the early 1800's. We are a people who share some common ideas regarding the nature of faith life in community. A few of those shared ideas are:

·        The simple confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and accepting him as Lord and Savior, is sufficient for membership among Disciples.

·        The nonjudgmental acceptance of all people who wish to worship and share in the ministry of Jesus Christ.

·        The serious study of the Bible as our guide for faith and witness.

·        The weekly observance of the Lord's Supper which is open to all believers in Jesus Christ regardless of their denominational affiliation.

·        The commitment to serving others through various avenues the church provides, financially as well as with our time and talents. 

·        Celebrating diversity of beliefs within our community of faith.

·        Understanding that the Holy Spirit is the power that gives health, life and strength to the church.

·        Acknowledging that God alone has authority and responsibility for ultimate judgment upon a person's life and faith.

·        Open Membership - At the conclusion of each Sunday's worship, an invitation is extended to any who desire to unite with us.
