As Members of the Christian Church, We Confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and proclaim him Lord and Savior of the world. In Christ’s name and by his grace we accept our mission of witness and service to all people. We rejoice in God, maker of heaven and earth, and in the covenant of love which binds us to God and to one another. Through baptism into Christ, we enter into newness of life and are made one with the whole people of God. In the communion of the Holy Spirit, we are joined together in discipleship and in obedience to Christ. At the table of the Lord, we celebrate with Thanksgiving the saving acts and presence of Christ. Within the universal church, we receive the gifts of ministry and the light of Scripture. In the bonds of Christian faith, we yield ourselves to God that we may serve the one whose kingdom has no end. Blessing, glory, and honor be to God forever. Amen.
From the Preamble to the Design of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
- Like most other Christians, the members of the Disciples church affirm that Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God and offers saving grace to everyone, and that all persons are God’s children. The Disciples church practices open communion, usually weekly, open to all believers in Jesus. The church is open to a diversity of opinion, allowing the individual to find their beliefs based upon the scripture and be guided by the Holy Spirit through study and prayer.
- Members of the Christian church believe in Baptism by immersion, wherein the old self is put aside and a new life in Jesus is made. The Disciples of Christ stress the importance of the unity of the Christian faith as a whole, regardless of denomination, remembering that all are brothers in Christ – the one necessary faith being a belief in Him as Lord and Savior.
