Like most Christians, Disciples Affirm:
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.
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.
The ministry to believers
Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.
Fred Craddock once visited a church’s prayer group. While he was there, he saw the group’s little book where they kept record of the things they had prayed for. If a request was granted, they would make a note of the date on which it happened. Fred looked at the things the group had asked for, and was sort of flabbergasted: luxury cars, furs, dates, that sort of thing. And he wondered, “Is that what prayer is for?”
Many years ago Mike was flipping through the TV channels when he happened on a dramatization of the Gospel of Matthew. We tuned in during the Sermon on the Mount, just in time to see Jesus talking about judgment, and minding other people’s business.
