WHO WE ARE
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. We strive to be and to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, witnessing, loving, and serving from our doorsteps “to the ends of the earth." – Acts 1:8
Worship, Connect, & Serve in Christ
Our Mission
WORSHIP — Our primary role as members of God’s creation is to worship God in all things. Worship is our way of thanking God for the countless gifts of life like love, grace, meaningful relationships, holy labor, etc.
CONNECT — God created us to be in relationship with God and with others. It pleases God when we enjoy these relationships by spending time in fellowship together.
SERVE — God calls us to live our lives in service to God and God’s creation. Oftentimes this means caring for the sick, the poor, the hungry, the hurting, and the outcast.
IN CHRIST — This is the most important part! The ways we worship, connect, and serve should incarnate the love and presence of Jesus.
“The world is a Eucharistic reality, brimming with splendor and glory. The church’s vocation is to participate in announcing the truth—everything belongs. Perhaps we could say that everyone and everything, every person and community, every beast and seedling, is invited into the membership.”
Our Beliefs
Faith in Christ: We believe Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God and offers saving grace to all.
The Lord's Supper: The table is open to all who believe in Christ. We celebrate Communion weekly and understand the bread and cup to be a visceral means of connection with God's love, forgiveness, mercy, and grace.
Baptism: While we practice baptism by immersion, we recognize that all baptisms--in whatever form--unite us to Christ and to each other as a community in life and death, faith and service.
Scripture: We acknowledge the authority and centrality of Scripture in worship, study, and service.
Ministry of All Believers: We believe God has equipped both ministers and lay persons to do the work of the Church within and beyond the Church walls.
Congregational Government: Members of the congregation work together on a journey of faith to discern where the Holy Spirit is leading the congregation.
Service: As Disciples of Christ we seek to provide spiritual and practical assistance to those in need within our congregation, community, and world.
Diversity of Opinion: We are a caring community of Christians who value and protect one another's beliefs as we walk our faith journeys. We represent diverse ages and a variety of theological, economic, political, social, and educational backgrounds. Through Jesus Christ we find unity in the midst of diversity.
“So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.”
