​
We are Disciples of Christ, a movement of 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.
Our Identity
All are welcome to the Lord's Table for the sake of mission and for the sake of the world as the one family of God. Our congregation does this by celebrating communion every Sunday. That's why the chalice is our logo.
We practice unity and inclusion at the Lord's Table.
We honor our heritage as a movement for Christian unity by cooperating and partnering with other faith communities to work for bringing about wholeness - healing and justice - in the world. This is what it means to be "ecumenical". One example is our cooperative work with the United Church of Christ in Global Ministries for the past 25 years and our newer effort to share staff in the area of family ministries.
​
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 to the table as Christ has welcomed us. Our spiritual ancestors were fond of saying, "unity, no uniformity."
We are a movement for Christian Unity.
​
We move to answer God's call for justice, particularly in the areas of care for the earth, the challenges for women and children, poverty and hunger, and immigration. We seek to do this work in cooperation with other people of faith. Some say we "get dirty for Jesus" as a way of conveying the hands-on mission orientation of many of our faith communities.
We answer God's call for justice.
A person makes a choice to follow God's call. We believe that baptism is a mark that every person is called to serve God - the idea of the "priesthood of all believers." We recognize a member's baptism regardless of the baptismal faith.
We practice believer baptism.
We study scripture for ourselves.
We are called to study and read scripture for ourselves. Rather than having tests of faith and creedal statements, we critically and thoughtfully study scripture, taking into account the history and background - the context - in which it was written.
