Our Beliefs:
· Open Communion. The Lord’s Supper, or communion, is celebrated in weekly worship. It is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
· Freedom of belief. Disciples are called together around one essential faith: belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Persons are free to follow their consciences guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, and study and prayer. They are expected to extend that freedom to others.
· Baptism by immersion. In baptism the old self-centered life is set aside and a new life of trust in God begins. Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, other baptism traditions are honored.
· The ministry of believers. Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.
· Equality of Women. We support in belief and practice the role of women as ordained clergy, elders, deacons and lay leaders in the church
