Disciples of Christ Identity

As Disciples of Christ, we are part of a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. These core values shape who we are and how we live out our faith.

Beliefs

We believe in God, the creator and sustainer of all life. We follow Jesus Christ, who taught love, justice, and compassion. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we strive to live with faith, hope, and love every day.
