Bellevue Christian Church
Disciples of Christ
The official website for the Disciples of Christ
lists the following tenants for The Disciples.
- Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God,
- All persons are God's children
Our Vision: To be a faithful, growing church that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality and a passion for justice. (Micah 6:8)
Our Mission: To be and to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, witnessing, loving, and serving from our doorsteps "to the ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8)
Belief and practices include:
- Open Communion. The Lord's supper is celebrated in weekly worship. It is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
- Freedom of belief. One essential of faith is belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Persons are free to follow their consciences guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, study and prayer, and are expected to extend that freedom to others.
- Baptism by immersion. A new life of trust in God begins with baptism. Baptism by immersion is prefered, but other practices of baptism 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.
