The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
“We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. As part of the one body of Christ, we welcome all to the Lord’s Table as God has welcomed us.”
- Disciples Identity Statement
Founded in the early 1800s in the United States, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) grew out of two movements seeking Christian unity that sprang up almost simultaneously in western Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Our founders, Barton Stone and Alexander Campbell, were seeking to move beyond denominational disagreements. They envisioned a united church of Jesus Christ modeled on the New Testament.
Today, our denomination continues to be influenced by its founding ideals of our unity in Christ with openness and diversity in practice and belief. While each of our 3,800 congregations is unique, we still share many characteristics.
Like most Christians, we affirm that Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, and that all persons are God’s children.
- We practice weekly communion, which is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
- Each congregation is self-governing and calls its own pastor.
- Both ministers and lay-persons lead in worship, service, and spiritual growth.
- Open discussion of issues is encouraged. Diversity of opinion is common.
