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.
I’m sort of allergic to buzzwords. You know what I mean: words or phrases that become sort of trendy, and they get thrown around to the point that they lose all their meaning. Things like “throw them under the bus.” Or “in harm’s way,” which I know started out as sort of a cute way to describe someone being in a dangerous situation; but it’s just gotten out of hand now.
It became popular about thirty years ago, and still is in some circles, to wear bracelets and other doodads with the initials “W.W.J.D.” on them. The letters, as I’m sure you know, stand for “What would Jesus do?” We are encouraged to consider how Jesus might act in any situation, as we decide how we should act.
