Our Beliefs

Practice Believer Baptism
We believe a person makes the choice to follow God’s call rather than the choice being made for them as an infant. Baptism is the basis of membership in the Church and a mark that every person is called to serve God - the idea of the “priesthood of all believers.”

Identity Statement
We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. As part of the one body of Christ, we welcome all to the Lord’s table as God has welcomed us.

Read and Study the Scriptures
We are called to read and study the scriptures for ourselves. Rather than having tests of faith and creedal statements, we critically and thoughtfully read and study the scriptures, considering the history and background in which it was written.

Practice Unity and Inclusion at the Lord’s Table
All are welcomed to the Lord’s Table for the sake of the world as one family of God. We celebrate communion every Sunday.

Movement for Christian Unity
We honor our heritage as a movement for Christian unity by cooperating and partnering with other faith communities to work for bringing wholeness - healing and justice - in the world. This is what it means to be “ecumenical.” We also honor the heritage of Christian unity by staying together in covenant as a witness to the world that even when we disagree, we can still make room, welcoming all the table as Christ has welcomed us. Our spiritual ancestors were fond of saying, “unity, not uniformity.”

Move to Answer God’s Call for Justice
We move to answer God’s call for justice particularly in the areas of care for the earth, the challenges of women and children, poverty and hunger and immigration. We seek to do this work in cooperation with other people of faith. We practice this call with a hands-on approach within our community.
