Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Preamble
"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 God’s covenant of love
which binds us to God and to 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."
