Who We Are

We are a major mainline Protestant denomination which began in the early 1800's in the United States in an effort to bring many parts of the divided Church together at the Lord's Table and in Christian fellowship. The Disciples have continued their efforts to this day to bring churches together for dialogue and mutual mission. The use of "Christian Church" as a name for congregations is an attempt to emphasize that which we have in common rather than our differences. We are the oldest and largest protestant church founded in the United States of America.

What Do We Believe?

We confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and proclaim Him Lord and Savior of the world.
We not only celebrate communion every week, we invite all Christians to the table. The table is set for more than just our denomination, but for the church as a whole.
We baptize by immersion, following the practice of the early church, yet we recognize all forms of baptism, regardless of one's age of baptism or the method of baptism.
We include both women and men in the leadership of the church, both as ordained clergy and as involved laity. We also value the involvement of children and youth within our church.
We ground our faith in the Bible, yet we allow the freedom to ask questions and compare the Biblical stories to our own life experience. We're a thinking church. We encourage interpretation, and we're willing to admit we don't have all the answers as we continue to search and learn.
We value "unity in diversity." We don't all think alike or act alike, but we are united as one through our trust in God through Jesus Christ.
We ground ourselves in prayer. Alexander Campbell, an early leader within our denomination, said that prayer is "the Christian's breath. Without it, (the Christian) cannot live or be happy a single day."
