What we do believe?
Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, and offers saving grace to all.
image
image 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. image
image 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. image
image The ministry of believers. Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.
And of course....
Prayer! image Prayer is our vital link with our Creator. We pray not because prayer changes God but because prayer changes us.
