The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) believes that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Savior of the world and that in Christ we see
the love of God fully expressed. We believe
that the Bible is the inspired word of God.
We believe that all people are loved by God.
There are two ordinances of the church which Jesus
instituted: Baptism and the celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
Baptism is for those mature enough to make that decision on
their own, it is by immersion upon one’s public confession of Jesus as Lord and
Savior, and is symbolic of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Lord’s Supper (Communion) is celebrated every week. All people who believe in Jesus Christ are
invited to participate in the Lord’s Supper.
It is a time of reflection, confession, and renewal as we remember
Christ’s sacrifice. “This is my body
given for you. Do this in remembrance of
me.” I Corinthians 11:24.
We believe that all people are gifted by God to serve Him
and share the faith with others. Every
member of the church is a “minister” in that sense. Growing in our faith, serving Christ, sharing
our faith, and reaching out to those in need is central to who we are as a
church.
