WHAT IS THE

CHRISTIAN CHURCH

The Christian Church

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), was founded on American soil in the early 1800s by four ministers who felt that denominationalism and restricted access to communion were more harmful then beneficial to God's church. They set out to establish a new church that openly embraced all Christians and welcomed all people to commune with God.

Today, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is uniquely equipped to live up to its identity that it is a "movement for wholeness in a fragmented world." The denomination continues to be influenced by its founding ideals of our unity in Christ with openness and diversity in practice and belief.

Today, the Christian Church

The church is identified with the Protestant “mainstream” and is widely involved in social justice, reconciliation ministry, mission work and other concerns. Disciples have supported vigorously world and national programs of education, agricultural assistance, racial reconciliation, care of the developmentally disabled and aid to victims of war and calamity.

The Vision of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) To be a faithful, growing church, that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality and a passion for justice. (Micah 6:8)

This Mission of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) 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)
