2. AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
Preamble to the Design of the
Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
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 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.
