OPEN COMMUNION - The Lord's Supper or Communion is celebrated in weekly worship and open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.

THE ONENESS OF THE CHURCH - All Christians called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.

FREEDOM OF BELIEF - As Disciples we are called together around two essentials of faith: a belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and that Christians are free to follow their conscience fuided by Bible study, the Holy Spirit and prayer. We are expected to extend that freedom to study.

BAPTISM BY IMMERSION - In baptism the old self-centered lif is set aside, washed away 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.

AND ABOVE ALL THAT, Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, who offers saving grace to all who seek it through His Son.
