The Premable to The Design for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) captures the beautiful tenets of our belief:

As members of the Christian Church,
We confess that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of the living God,
and proclaim Him Lord and Savior of the world.

In Christ's name and by His grace
we accept our mission of witness
and service to all people.

We rejoice in God,
maker of heaven and earth,
and in the covenant of love
which binds us to God and one another.

Through baptism into Christ
we enter into newness of life
and are made one with the whole people of God.

In the communion of the Holy Spirit
we are joined together in discipleship
and in obedience to Christ.

At the table of the Lord
we celebrate with thanksgiving
the saving acts and presence of Christ.

Within the universal church
we receive the gift of ministry
and the light of scripture.

In the bonds of Christian faith
we yield ourselves to God
that we may serve the one
whose kingdom has no end.

Blessing, glory and honor
be to God forever. Amen.

Accepting the vast freedom and diversity within our congregation, most members share these basic beliefs:
GOD- Revealed in many ways, in creation, in scripture, in human experience, but most clearly in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

JESUS CHRIST- The Son of God, part of God's own divinity; yet fully human, having shared life as we know it. Christ is Emmanuel, God with us. Christ came for us and gave himself for us.

HOLY SPIRIT- The Spirit of Christ, the power of God working with and among us, inspiring us toward love, justice, peace and unity.

THE BIBLE- A guide for Christian living and faith, revealing God's intent for the world in Jesus Christ.

BAPTISM- The sign of our acceptance of God's abiding grace in Jesus Christ. Practiced by immersion for those mature enough to decide for themselves. Upholding "open membership", we receive those baptized by other methods.

THE LORDS SUPPER- Celebrated each Sunday as the central focus of our worship. It is a service of remembrance, of thanksgiving and of dedication. Practicing "open Communion", all who call on the name of Christ are invited to participate.

INCLUSIVE MINISTRY- Ordained clergy carry out many of the ministerial functions, but all members are called to ministry and are entitled to interpret the scriptures and perform church functions.

ECUMENICAL- We work cooperatively with all Christian communions, locally, nationally, and worldwide.
