About Us
We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. As part of the one body of Christ we welcome all to the Lord's Table as God has welcomed us. No one is excluded from God's grace or God's invitation.
We practice unity and inclusion at the Lord's Table. All are welcome to the Lord's Table for the sake of mission and for the sake of the world as the one family of God. Our congregation celebrates communion every Sunday. No one is excluded from God's grace or God's invitation.
We are called to study and read scripture for ourselves. Rather than having tests of faith and creedal statements, we critically and thoughtfully study scripture, taking into account the history and background - the context- in which it was written. In Essentials Unity, In Non-Essentials Liberty. In all Things Love.
We practice believer baptism. A person makes the choice to follow God's call rather than the choice being made for them as an infant. Baptism is the basis of membership in the church and also a mark that every person is called to serve God. Although we practice believer baptism, we honor and accept the baptism of other faith traditions as accepted by the believer's conscience. Priesthood of all believers.
We answer God's call for justice. We seek to do this work in cooperation with other people of faith. Our goal as people who are called by God is to make a positive impact in the community around us, especially among the marginalized, the oppressed and the least of these. Faith in Action.
