The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a Protestant community that began in the United States two centuries ago. Coming largely from Presbyterian parentage, Disciples bear many similarities to the faith and practice of traditional Christian communities. Distinctive characteristics of Disciples include believer’s baptism, weekly communion and a commitment to unity of all Christians and to the dialogue between faith andreason.Areformingimpulseleadstoongoingre-examinationofpersonalfaithcommitments.Disciplesareprofoundlycommittedtosocialjusticeandtohonoringthedignityofallpersons,aswellasto constructive dialogue across all faith communities and traditions.
