Mission Statement

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a community of believers who through baptism into Jesus Christ are bound by covenant to God and to one another. Disciples draw their inspiration from Scripture and the Holy Spirit, celebrating around the Lord's Table the life, death and resurrection, and continuing presence of Christ. We proclaim the good news of salvation. We claim as our particular witness the quest for Christian unity as a sign of God's unity for the human community. While stressing freedom and diversity under God, we believe unity and mission are inseparable; we witness and serve among the whole human family in the interest of peace, justice, mercy and kindness.

A Statement of Identity for The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Composed by General Minister and President Emeritus Kenneth Teegarden, affirmed by The General Board of The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
