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.
Every week, as we entered Lydia’s house to worship and break bread together, we were faced with an uncomfortable reminder. The last time Paul had been with us, he left without his hat, and it’s still on its hook in the front hall. When we see it, week after week, we lament that Paul isn’t with us, and we worry about him.
It’s one thing to preach the gospel when most of the folks listening are already Christian, or at least predisposed in that direction. But we don’t always have that option. These days we’re seeing three, even four, generations who have not been part of church, and at this point many of them don’t really even know why church should matter to them. At least that many generations haven’t read the Bible enough even to understand the origin of some of the references that are part of our everyday language, like “forbidden fruit,” or “the handwriting on the wall,” or “in the lions’ den,” or “Damascus Road.”
