Open Communion

The Lord's Supper, or Communion, is celebrated in weekly worship, and it is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.

The Oneness of Church

All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.

Freedom of Belief

As Disciples, we are called together around two essentials of faith: a belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and that Christians are free to follow their conscience guided by Bible study, the Holy Spirit and prayer. We are expected to extend that freedom to others.

Baptism by Immersion

In baptism the old self-centered life is set aside and washed away, and a new life of trust in God begins. Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, other baptism traditions are honored.

The Ministry of Believers

Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.
