The Preamble to the Design for the Christian Church
expresses the shared affirmations of
the Disciples of Christ Church:

• "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 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."
