We believe in a reasonable faith, based on the study of scripture and unity with Christians everywhere. Like most Christians, Disciples affirm:

• Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, and offers saving grace to all 
• All persons are God’s children

Beliefs & Practices

• An Open Table: The Lord’s Supper, or Communion is celebrated as the central act of 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. We believe all people are created by God and therefore entitled to respect and freedom; freedom to think for ourselves and to interpret the Bible in our context

• 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 baptismal traditions are honored

• The Ministry of All Believers: Both professional ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth. 

• The oneness of the church: All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.
