Welcome to an open hearted, open minded church for people who are seeking a caring fellowship for worship and service.
WHO ARE THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST?
An American church which came west with the frontier, now more than 170 years old, numbering over a million members.
DISCIPLES' CREED
We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God, and we accept him as our Savior and Lord.
AN INVITATION
We welcome you and your family any Sunday as a visitor or new member to the community. Come and explore with us how we share our faith in a growing community of believers from infants to seniors.
WHO WE ARE
Like most Christians, Disciples affirm:
* Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, and offers saving grace to all
* All persons are God’s children
Beliefs and practices usually associated with Disciples include:
* 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 of faith: belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Persons are free to follow their consciences guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit study and prayer, and 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.
* Belief in the oneness of the church. All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.
* The ministry of believers. Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.
Worship Services
Join us Sundays at 10:30 a.m. for worship and weekly communion services.
