Discover the Disciples
We Believe In…
Like most Christians, Disciples Affirm:
- Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, and offers saving grace to all.
- All persons are God’s children.
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.

“The joy of the LORD is our strength.”
It was eight years of drought—the worst we’ve seen, before or since. Not that we didn’t get any rain—every now and then one of those big thunderheads would build up on the horizon of an evening, and we’d stand outside and watch it as it moved closer to us, watch the top of it flatten out, and it’d rain for a few minutes, then it’d move on by. And the sun’d come out, and the bricks and things would steam for a little bit, then it was all over.
