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

growing church, that demonstrates true
community, deep Christian spirituality
