Since it’s origin on the American frontier in the early
1800’s, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) has
attempted to increase respect and understanding
among Christian believers of all denominations.
Attempting to hold true to the teachings of Jesus and
the practices of the New Testament churches, we
strive for a Christian faith which is both socially relevant
and intellectually sound.
-No attempt is made to impose a set of formulated
doctrines or interpretations of religious thought upon
any member.
-We believe that the New Testament, particularly the
life and teachings of Jesus, and his apostles, forms the
basis of our Christian thought and action.
-We recognize the principle of self-government for each
local congregation with the state and national bodies
serving in advisory capacities only.
-We observe the Lord’s Supper, or Holy Communion,
every Sunday, and welcome all Christians from all
denominations to participate.
-We practice Baptism by immersion, a New Testament
practice recognized as the most adequate symbol of
complete surrender and of the Biblical ideal of death,
burial, and resurrection to new life.
-We participate in and encourage interdenominational
fellowship of Christians in worship, study, mission and
service.
-People presenting themselves for membership here
are asked only one question: “Do you believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the one living and true
God, and do you accept him as your Lord and Savior?”
