* Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God
* All persons are God's children
Beliefs & practices usually associated with Disciples include:
Open Communion. The Lord's Supper, or Holy Communion is celebrated
in weekly worship. It is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
Freedom of belief. Disciples are called together around one essential
of faith: belief in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Persons are free to their consciences, guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit,
study & prayer, & are expected to extend that freedom to others.
Baptism by immersion. In baptism the old self-centered life is set-aside, and a new life of trust in God begins.
Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, other baptism traditions are honored.
Belief in the oneness of the church. All Christians are called to be one
in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.
The ministry of believers. Both Ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.
The Chalice 
The red chalice symbolizes the central place of communion in worship for the Christian Church
(Disciples of Christ).
The X-shaped cross of the Disciple Andrew
is a reminder of the ministry of each person
and the importance of evangelism.
