Our family of faith is part of a larger family of faith called the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) with almost a million members worldwide and 34 regions in North America. Though each congregation is independent (self-governed), we are united in our beliefs that:
- Jesus is Lord and Savior
This confession from the gospels is all that is needed in order to become a
Christian.
- The Lord's Supper
Communion is central to every worship service and is open to all believers.
- The New Testament
The New Testament is the authority for our lives and not creeds or church

- The New Testament
The New Testament is the authority for our lives and not creeds or church
doctrines, which through the centuries have deeply divided Christ's church.
- Baptism
Our baptism is by immersion for those old enough to understand its meaning.
However we do accept all forms of baptism practiced by other churches, so it
is not necessary to be "re-baptized" in order to join our church.
- Passion for Unity
Our call is to work ecumenically with other churches around the world to honor
Jesus' prayer that "we may all be one" (John 17.20-21) and to work together to
bring peace and justice to all of God's children.
