Church Disciples of Christ |
Emerging in the early 1800s from what was then frontier America, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) grew out of Scottish Presbyterian and Baptist roots. Today, we number over 4000 faith communities with a membership of nearly 1,000,000. Professing "no creed but Christ," we share in the Lord's Supper weekly and accept all forms of baptism in our congregationally directed churches. Thomas Campbell, one of the founders of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), stated that "The church of Christ upon earth is essentially, intentionally, and constitutionally one." Christian unity and the ecumenical work of God through the church have been important throughout our denomination's short history.
