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.
