What Do Disciples Believe?

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

Beliefs and practices usually associated with Disciples include:

  • Open Communion.  The Lord’s Supper, or Communion, is celebrated in weekly worship.  It is open to all believers.

  • Diversity of Opinion.  Each person is free to determine individual belief guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, study and prayer.

  • Baptism by Immersion.  In baptism the old serf-centered life is set aside and a new life of trust in God is made possible.  Although Disciples generally practice baptism by immersion we honor other baptism traditions as well.

  • Importance of Church Unity.  All Christians should cooperate in ministry wherever possible, affirming each other as sisters and brothers in Christ.

  • Ministry of all Believers.  Both ministers and lay persons lead worship, direct service opportunities and nurture spiritual growth.

  • Freedom of Belief.  Disciples are called together around on essential of faith:  belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
